H1961
Now it came
H3117
to pass in the days
H325
of Ahasuerus,
H1931
(this
H325
is Ahasuerus
H4427
which reigned,
H1912
from India
H3568
even to Ethiopia,
H3967
over an hundred
H7651
and seven
H6242
and twenty
H4082
provinces:)
2
H1992
That in those
H3117
days,
H4428
when the king
H325
Ahasuerus
H3427
sat
H5921
on
H3678
the throne
H4438
of his kingdom,
H834
which
H7800
was in Shushan
H1002
the palace,
3
H7969
In the third
H8141
year
H4427
of his reign,
H6213
he made
H4960
a feast
H3605
to all
H8269
his princes
H5650
and his servants;
H2428
the power
H6539
of Persia
H4074
and Media,
H6579
the nobles
H8269
and princes
H4082
of the provinces,
H6440
being before him:
4
H7200
When he showed
H6239
the riches
H3519
of his glorious
H4438
kingdom
H3366
and the honor
H1420
of his excellent
H1420
majesty
H7227
many
H3117
days,
H3967
even an hundred
H8084
and fourscore
H3117
days.
5
H428
And when these
H3117
days
H4390
were expired,
H4428
the king
H6213
made
H4960
a feast
H3605
to all
H5971
the people
H4672
that were present
H7800
in Shushan
H1002
the palace,
H1419
both to great
H6996
and small,
H7651
seven
H3117
days,
H2691
in the court
H1594
of the garden
H4428
of the king’s
H1055
palace;
6
H2353
Where were white,
H3768
green,
H8504
and blue,
H270
hangings, fastened
H2256
with cords
H948
of fine linen
H713
and purple
H3701
to silver
H1550
rings
H5982
and pillars
H8336
of marble:
H4296
the beds
H2091
were of gold
H3701
and silver,
H7531
on a pavement
H923
of red,
H8336
and blue,
H1858
and white,
H5508
and black,
H8336
marble.
7
H8248
And they gave them drink
H3627
in vessels
H2091
of gold,
H3627
(the vessels
H8138
being diverse
H3627
one
H4438
from another,) and royal
H3196
wine
H7227
in abundance,
H3027
according to the state
H4428
of the king.
8
H8360
And the drinking
H1881
was according to the law;
H369
none
H597
did compel:
H3651
for so
H4428
the king
H3245
had appointed
H3605
to all
H7227
the officers
H1004
of his house,
H6213
that they should do
H376
according to every man’s
H7522
pleasure.
9
H1571
Also
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H6213
made
H4960
a feast
H802
for the women
H4438
in the royal
H1004
house
H4428
which belonged to king
H325
Ahasuerus.
10
H7637
On the seventh
H3117
day,
H3820
when the heart
H4428
of the king
H2896
was merry
H3196
with wine,
H559
he commanded
H4104
Mehuman,
H968
Biztha,
H2726
Harbona,
H903
Bigtha,
H5
and Abagtha,
H2242
Zethar,
H3752
and Carcas,
H7651
the seven
H5631
chamberlains
H8334
that served
H6440
in the presence
H325
of Ahasuerus
H4428
the king,
11
H935
To bring
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H3804
with the crown
H4438
royal,
H7200
to show
H5971
the people
H8269
and the princes
H3308
her beauty:
H2896
for she was fair
H4758
to look on.
12
H4436
But the queen
H2060
Vashti
H3985
refused
H935
to come
H4428
at the king’s
H1697
commandment
H5631
by his chamberlains:
H4428
therefore was the king
H3966
very
H7107
wroth,
H2534
and his anger
H1197
burned in him.
13
H4428
Then the king
H559
said
H2450
to the wise
H5234
men, which knew
H6256
the times,
H3651
(for so
H4428
was the king’s
H1697
manner
H6440
toward
H3605
all
H5234
that knew
H1881
law
H1779
and judgment:
14
H7138
And the next
H3771
to him was Carshena,
H8369
Shethar,
H133
Admatha,
H8659
Tarshish,
H4825
Meres,
H4826
Marsena,
H4462
and Memucan,
H7651
the seven
H8269
princes
H6539
of Persia
H4074
and Media,
H7200
which saw
H4428
the king’s
H6440
face,
H3427
and which sat
H7223
the first
H4438
in the kingdom;)
15
H4100
What
H6213
shall we do
H4436
to the queen
H2060
Vashti
H1881
according to law,
H5921
because
H834
H6213
she has not performed
H3982
the commandment
H4428
of the king
H325
Ahasuerus
H5631
by the chamberlains?
16
H4462
And Memucan
H559
answered
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H8269
and the princes,
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H5753
has not done wrong
H4428
to the king
H905
only,
H3605
but also to all
H8269
the princes,
H3605
and to all
H5971
the people
H3605
that are in all
H4082
the provinces
H4428
of the king
H325
Ahasuerus.
17
H1697
For this deed
H4436
of the queen
H3318
shall come
H3318
abroad
H3605
to all
H802
women,
H959
so that they shall despise
H1167
their husbands
H5869
in their eyes,
H559
when it shall be reported,
H4428
The king
H325
Ahasuerus
H559
commanded
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H935
to be brought
H6440
in before
H935
him, but she came not.
18
H8282
Likewise shall the ladies
H6539
of Persia
H4074
and Media
H559
say
H2088
this
H3117
day
H3605
to all
H4428
the king’s
H8269
princes,
H834
which
H8085
have heard
H1697
of the deed
H4436
of the queen.
H1767
Thus shall there arise too
H1767
much
H963
contempt
H7110
and wrath.
19
H518
If
H2895
it please
H4428
the king,
H3318
let there go
H4438
a royal
H1697
commandment
H3789
from him, and let it be written
H1881
among the laws
H6539
of the Persians
H4074
and the Medes,
H5674
that it be not altered,
H2060
That Vashti
H935
come
H3808
no
H6440
more before
H4428
king
H325
Ahasuerus;
H4428
and let the king
H5414
give
H4438
her royal
H7468
estate to another
H2896
that is better than she.
20
H4428
And when the king’s
H6599
decree
H834
which
H6213
he shall make
H8085
shall be published
H3605
throughout all
H4438
his empire,
H7227
(for it is great,
H3605
) all
H802
the wives
H5414
shall give
H1167
to their husbands
H3366
honor,
H1419
both to great
H6996
and small.
21
H1697
And the saying
H3190
pleased
H5869
H4428
the king
H8269
and the princes;
H4428
and the king
H6213
did
H1697
according to the word
H4462
of Memucan:
22
H7971
For he sent
H5612
letters
H413
into
H3605
all
H4428
the king’s
H4082
provinces,
H4082
into every province
H3791
according to the writing
H376
thereof, and to every
H5971
people
H3956
after their language,
H376
that every man
H8323
should bear
H8323
rule
H1004
in his own house,
H1696
and that it should be published
H3956
according to the language
H5971
of every people.
