Question: Which king saw the handwriting on the wall?
The king who is said to have seen the handwriting on the wall is Belshazzar, the last king of Babylon, according to the Bible, in the Book of Daniel, chapter 5.
In the story, Belshazzar is holding a feast for a thousand of his nobles and using the sacred vessels that were taken from the Temple in Jerusalem. Suddenly, a hand appears and writes a message on the palace wall, which is interpreted by the prophet Daniel as a warning that God has numbered Belshazzar's days and that his kingdom will be given to the Medes and Persians. The same night, Belshazzar is killed and his kingdom is conquered by the Medes and Persians.
