John Trapp on Daniel 5:2

Ver. 2. Belſhazzar whileſt he taſted the wine] And was maſtered by it;Jam temulentus. Vulg. being now in his cups, as they ſay, and well whittled, ſwallowed up of wine, as the Prophet expreſſeth it, Eſay 28.7. Aben-Ezra rendreth it, in conſilio vini, doing as the wine adviſed him.

Commanded to bring the golden and ſilver veſſels] Being intoxicate he caſteth off all care of God and man, and falleth into the ſins of ſacriledge and blaſphemy.

Which his Father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the Temple] And ſhould have reſtored them thither again. We read that when Genſericus had ſpoiled and plundered Rome, he took the veſſels of gold and ſilver which Titus had brought from the Temple in Jeruſalem, and carried them with him to Carthage, The life of Juſtin by Mr. the Clark. 79. and carried them to Constantinople. But the good Emperor Juſtinian would not receive them into his treaſury, but ſent them again to Jeruſalem, to be diſpoſed of for the good of the Church, according to the diſcretion of the Chriſtian Biſhops who lived there.
