Now it came to pass in the days
of Ahasuerus
,
(this
is
Ahasuerus
which reigned
,
from India
even unto Ethiopia
,
over
an hundred
and seven
and twenty
provinces
:)
2
That
in
those
days
,
when the king
Ahasuerus
sat
on the throne
of his kingdom
,
which
was
in Shushan
the palace
,
3
In the third
year
of his reign
,
he made
a feast
unto all his princes
and his servants
; the power
of Persia
and Media
,
the nobles
and princes
of the provinces
,
being
before
him:
4
When he shewed
the riches
of his glorious
kingdom
and the honour
of his excellent
majesty
many
days
,
even
an hundred
and fourscore
days
.
5
And when
these
days
were expired
,
the king
made
a feast
unto all the people
that were present
in Shushan
the
palace
,
both unto great
and small
,
seven
days
,
in the court
of the garden
of
the king
's
palace
;
6
Where were
white
,
green
,
and blue
,
hangings
, fastened
with cords
of fine linen
and purple
to silver
rings
and pillars
of marble:
the beds
were of
gold
and silver
,
upon a pavement
of red
,
and blue
,
and white
,
and black
, marble.
7
And they gave
them
drink
in vessels
of gold
,
(the vessels
being diverse one from another,) and royal
wine
in abundance
,
according to the state
of the king
.
8
And the drinking
was
according to the law
;
none did compel
:
for
so
the king
had appointed
to all the officers
of his house
,
that they should do
according to every man's
pleasure
.
9
Also Vashti
the queen
made
a feast
for the women
in
the royal
house
which
belonged
to king
Ahasuerus
.
10
On the seventh
day
,
when the heart
of
the king
was merry
with wine
,
he commanded
Mehuman
,
Biztha
,
Harbona
,
Bigtha
,
and Abagtha
,
Zethar
,
and Carcas
,
the seven
chamberlains
that served
in the presence
of Ahasuerus
the king
,
11
To bring
Vashti
the queen
before
the king
with the crown
royal
,
to shew
the people
and the princes
her beauty
:
for she
was
fair
to look on.
12
But the queen
Vashti
refused
to come
at the king's
commandment
by
his
chamberlains
:
therefore was the king
very
wroth
,
and his anger
burned
in him.
13
Then the king
said
to the wise men
,
which knew
the times
,
(for
so
was
the king's
manner
toward
all
that knew
law
and judgment
:
14
And the next
unto him
was
Carshena
,
Shethar
,
Admatha
,
Tarshish
,
Meres
,
Marsena
,
and
Memucan
,
the seven
princes
of Persia
and Media
,
which saw
the king's
face
,
and
which sat
the first
in
the kingdom
;)
15
What shall we do
unto the queen
Vashti
according to law
,
because she hath not performed
the comm
and
ment
of the king
Ahasuerus
by the
chamberlain
s?
16
And Memucan
answered
before
the king
and the princes
,
Vashti
the queen
hath not done wrong
to
the king
only
, but also to
all
the princes,
and to
all
the people
that
are
in
all
the provinces
of
the king
Ahasuerus
.
17
For
this
deed
of
the queen
sh
all
come abroad
unto
all
women
,
so that they sh
all
despise
their husbands
in their eyes
,
when it sh
all
be reported
,
The king
Ahasuerus
commanded
Vashti
the queen
to be brought in
before
him, but she came not.
18
Likewise
sh
all
the ladies
of Persia
and Media
say
this day
unto
all
the king's
princes
,
which have heard
of the deed
of the queen
.
Thus
sh
all
there arise
too much
contempt
and wrath
.
19
If
it please
the
king
,
let there go
a royal
commandment
from him
,
and let it be written
among the laws
of the Persians
and the Medes
,
that it be not altered
,
That Vashti
come
no more before
king
Ahasuerus
;
and let
the
king
give
her royal estate
unto another
that is better
than she.
20
And when the king's
decree
which
he sh
all
make
sh
all
be published
throughout
all
his empire
, (for it is
great
,)
all
the wives
sh
all
give
to their husbands
honour
,
both to
great
and sm
all
.
21
And the saying
pleased
the king
and the princes
;
and
the king
did
according to the word
of Memucan
:
22
For he sent
letters
into
all
the king's
province
s
,
into
every
province
according to the writing
thereof, and to
every
people
after their language
,
that
every
man
should bear rule
in his own house
,
and that
it
should be published
according to the language
of
every
people
.
