who lays up treasures in secret
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
BELTESHAZZAR.Nebuchadnezzar is said to have conferred this name on the youthful Daniel (Dan_1:7). The Babylonian form would be Balatsu-usur (protect his life!) or, according to Dan_4:8, Bel balatsu-usur. The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and Theodotion employ Baltasar both for it and for Belshazzar (ch. 5); and pseudo-Epiphanius repeats a legend that Nebuchadnezzar wished to make the two men co-heirs.
