Daniel 5:1 "Belshazzar the king..." We've shifted from Nebuchadnezzar to Belshazzar. Critics of Daniel have argued over the information he gives on Belshazzar. The chapter will mention Nebuchadnezzar as his father, and reference will be made of the third ruler. History has affirmed Daniel's account. Nebuchadnezzar was grandfather to Belshazzar.
