In that very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed, and Darius the Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old—recording the immediate and literal fulfillment of Daniel's interpretation, with the king's death occurring within hours of the prophecy. The timing 'in that very night' emphasizes the prophecy's immediate actualization. The mention of Darius's age establishes the succession's specific historical reality.
