Exegesis
The cohortative Peal imperfect wə-yištōn bəhôn {וְיִשְׁתּוֹן בְּהוֹן | wə-yištōn bə-hôn} indicates the intended drinking by the king, nobles, wives, and concubines. English rendering reorders for clarity while preserving the Aramaic clause functions and royal ceremonial emphasis.
In context — Daniel 5:2
Belshazzar said, at the tasting of the wine, to bring the vessels of gold and silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had brought out from the temple in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.
