And Belshazzar, drinking, gave orders as he tasted the wine that they should bring the gold and silver vessels, which Nebuchadnezzar his father had brought forth from the temple in Jerusalem; that the king, and his nobles, and his mistresses, and his concubines, should drink out of them.

And he carried away a part of the vessels of the house of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his temple in Babylon.

And as for the remaining vessels,

which the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried Jeconiah prisoner out of Jerusalem,
