Later, King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them.

Here: 'For his great ones.' The plural is formed by doubling the word rab, 'great.' These are the court's top officials and aristocrats, the same group that has just been restored to Nebuchadnezzar in 4:36. Here they are Belshazzar's drinking companions.

Under the influence of the wine, Belshazzar gave orders to bring in the gold and silver vessels that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king could drink from them, along with his nobles, his wives, and his concubines.

Here: "And his great ones." The word doubles "great" (rab-rab), like saying "his bigwigs." These are the thousand nobles of v.1, the ruling elite of the court.

Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. The vessels from His house were brought to you, and as you drank wine from them with your nobles, wives, and concubines, you praised your gods of silver and gold, bronze and iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you have failed to glorify the God who holds in His hand your very breath and all your ways.

Here: 'And your great ones.' The doubled form of rab ('great') means the top men of the court, the thousand lords of 5:1.
