Contextual Overview
1Belshazzar the king has made a great feast to one thousand of his great men, and before the one thousand he is drinking wine; 2Belshazzar has said—while tasting the wine—to bring in the vessels of gold and of silver that his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, that the king may drink with them, and his great men, his wives, and his concubines. 3Then they have brought in the vessels of gold that had been taken out of the temple of the house of God that [is] in Jerusalem, and the king and his great men, his wives and his concubines, have drunk with them; 4they have drunk wine, and have praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of bronze, of iron, of wood, and of stone.5In that hour fingers of a man's hand have come forth, and they are writing in front of the lampstand, on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace: and the king is seeing the extremity of the hand that is writing; 6then the king's countenance has changed, and his thoughts trouble him, and the joints of his loins are loosed, and his knees are striking against one another. 7The king calls mightily, to bring up the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king has answered and said to the wise men of Babylon, that, "Any man who reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, he puts on purple, and a bracelet of gold [is] on his neck, and he rules third in the kingdom." 8Then all the wise men of the king are coming up, and they are not able to read the writing, and to make known the interpretation to the king; 9then King Belshazzar is greatly troubled, and his countenance is changing in him, and his great men are perplexed.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
They drunk wine,.... That is, out of the vessels of the temple at Jerusalem, and perhaps till they were drunk:
and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone; for they had gods of all these materials;
:-, and these they praised by offering sacrifices unto them; or rather by singing songs, and drinking healths, and by ascribing all their victories over the nations of the world to them; as that by their means they had got such large dominions, and such great wealth and treasures, and particularly these vessels of gold and silver; and so insulted and triumphed over the God of Israel, and defied the prophecies and promises of the deliverance of them that went under his name.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, ... - Compare the note at Daniel 5:1. Idols were made among the pagan of all the materials here mentioned. The word praised here means that they spake in praise of these gods; of their history, of their attributes, of what they had done. Nothing can well be conceived more senseless and stupid than what it is said they did at this feast, and yet it is a fair illustration of what occurs in all the festivals of idolatry. And is what occurs in more civilized Christian lands, in the scenes of carousal and festivity, more rational than this? It was not much worse to lavish praises on idol gods in a scene of revelry than it is to lavish praises on idol men now; not much less rational to “toast” gods than it is to “toast” men.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Daniel 5:4. And praised the gods of gold — They had gods of all sorts, and of all metals; with wooden gods, and stone gods, beside!
