As a young man, he was a captive of Judah in Babylon - King Nebuchadnezzar - probably became a eunuch and was known as 'Belteshazzar. Righteous in God's eyes, he interpreted dreams of the King and became prominent in the kingdom. He served King Cyrus who succeeded Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar who followed Cyrus ending with Darius the Mede.

The chief diviner or magi for Nebuchadnezzar and prophet of God:

Daniel 4:9Expanded Bible (EXB)

9 I said, "Belteshazzar, you are the ·most important of all [L chief of] the ·fortune-tellers [diviners]. I know that ·the spirit of the holy gods [or a holy, divine spirit] is in you, so there is no ·secret [mystery] that is too ·hard for you to understand [difficult for you].
