Daniel5:30
30. Herodotus and Xenophon confirm Daniel as to the suddenness of the event. Cyrus diverted the Euphrates into a new channel and, guided by two deserters, marched by the dry bed into the city, while the Babylonians were carousing at an annual feast to the gods. See also Is 21:5; 44:27; Jr 50:38, 39; 51:36. As to Belshazzar's being slain, compare Is 14:18-20; 21:2-9; Jr 50:29-35; 51:57.
