		He was never king himself, nor was he son of Nebuchadrezzat Indeed his father Nabonidos (Nabunaid), the son of Nabu-~ baladsu-iqbi, was not related to the family of Nebuchadrczzar and owed his accession to the throne to a palace revolution.
		We learn from the Babylonian Chronicle that from the 7th year of Nabonidos (548 B.C.) onwards the son of the king was with the army in Akkad, that is in the close neighborhood of Sippara.
		His death subsequently to the surrender of Babylon and the capture of Nabonidos, and with it the last native effort to resist the invader, would account for the position he assumed in later tradition and the substitution of his name for that of the actual king.

	Edersheim Bible History - Bk. 7, Ch. 17
		After his murder, Nabonidos (Nabunit, Nabunaid)acceded to the government, but after seventeen years' reign (555-539 B.C.) was dethroned by Cyrus.
		The eldest son of Nabonidos, and heir to the throne, was Belshazzar, whom we know from the Book of Daniel, where, in a not unusual manner, he is designated as the son, that is, the descendant of Nebuchadrezzar (Daniel 5:2, 11, 18).
		We infer that, while his father, Nabonidos, went to meet Cyrus, to whom he surrendered, thereby preserving his life, Belshazzar had been left as "king" in Babylon,* at the taking of which he perished in the night of his feast, described in Holy Scripture.

	Babylonian kings
		The Persians under Cyrus captured the city in 538 B.C. Nabonidos had an army in the field against them under his son Belshazzar, but it was out-generaled and defeated.
		Several times the city rebelled, under leaders who claimed to be descendants of Nebuchadnezzar or sons of Nabonidos; but in each instance the revolt was put down, with more or less injury to the city.
		The Babylonian inscriptions tell us that this Belshazzar was the eldest son of Nabonidos and general of all his armies; very probably he had even been made king with his father and the two shared a united rule.

		His capital, Sardis, became the brilliant centre of arts and letters, and Crœsus was a munificent patron.
		When the long peace of the kingdom was evidently about to be disturbed by the encroaching Persians under Cyrus the Great (q.v.), Crœsus formed a league with the Lacedæmonians, and sought the aid also of Nabonidos of Babylon.
		He tried to propitiate the gods by bestowing rich gifts upon Apollo's shrine, and, encouraged by the oracle's deliverance that he "would destroy a great empire," he determined to take the offensive.

	Sir Robert Anderson
		The principal record here in question is "the Annalistic tablet of Cyrus," an inscription of which the transparent design is to represent his conquest of Babylon as the fulfilment of a divine mission, and the realisation of the wishes of the conquered.
		No mention is made of him at the end of the Annalistic tablet, and it would therefore appear that he was no longer in command of the Babylonian army when the invasion of Cyrus took place.
		Owing to the unfortunate lacuna in the middle of the tablet we have no account of what became of him, but since we are told not only of the fate of Nabonidos, but also of the death of his wife, it seems probable that Belshazzar was dead.

		This date is made certain by an inscription of Nabonidos, the last native King of Babylon, who was a zealous restorer of ruined temples.
		He tells us that he succeeded in reaching the foundation stone of the ancient temple of the Sun in Sippar, a stone which the great Nebuchadnezzar had sought in vain to find.

		The cuneiform library of Assurbanipal has furnished a legend of the birth of Sargon of Agade (a Babylonian king who, according to Nabonidos, ruled about 3800
		B.C.) which is strikingly parallel to the story of the secret birth of Moses and of his exposure on the Nile.
