'''Belshazzar''' (also spelled Balthazar; Hebrew: בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר;<ref>[https://biblehub.com/hebrew/1112.htm Strong's Hebrew: 1112. בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר], ''Bible Hub''</ref> reigned c. 550–539 BC) was the last king of [[Babylon]] during the Neo-Babylonian Empire. He was the grandson of [[Nebuchadnezzar|Nebuchadnezzar II]] (Hebrew: נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר<ref>[https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5019.htm Strong's Hebrew: 5019. נְבוּכַדְנֶאצַּר], ''Bible Hub''</ref>) and the eldest son of Nabonidus, who reigned from 556 to 539 BC. Until the mid-nineteenth century, Belshazzar was known only from the [[book of Daniel]] and was absent from Babylonian historical records, leading some scholars to question the [[Bible]]’s historical reliability. This view changed with the discovery of Babylonian inscriptions bearing his name in 1854 and 1879, which confirmed his historical existence.
