Belshazzar’s Special Supper
5 King Belshazzar gave a special supper for a thousand of his important men, and drank wine with them. 2 When Belshazzar tasted the wine, he had all the gold and silver cups brought which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the Lord’s house in Jerusalem. The king sent for them so that he and his important men and all his wives could drink from them. 3 So they brought the gold cups that had been taken from the house of God in Jerusalem. And the king and his important men and all his wives drank from them.
