Now it happened in the days
H325
of Ahasuerus
H325
(this is Ahasuerus
H4427
who reigned
H1912
from India
H3568
even to Ethiopia,
H3967
over one hundred
H6242
twenty -
H7651
seven
H4082
provinces),
2
H3117
that in those days,
H4428
when the King
H325
Ahasuerus
H3427
sat
H3678
on the throne
H4438
of his kingdom,
H7800
which was in Shushan
H1002
the palace,
3
H7969
in the third
H8141
year
H4427
of his reign,
H6213
he made
H4960
a feast
H8269
for all 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
He displayed
H6239
the riches
H3519
of his glorious
H4438
kingdom
H3366
and the honor
H8597
of his excellent
H1420
majesty
H7227
many
H3117
days,
H3967
even one hundred
H8084
eighty
H3117
days.
5
H3117
When these days
H4390
were fulfilled,
H4428
the king
H6213
made
H7651
a seven
H3117
day
H4960
feast
H5971
for all the people
H4672
who were present
H7800
in Shushan
H1002
the palace,
H1419
both great
H6996
and small,
H2691
in the court
H1594
of the garden
H4428
of the king's
H1055
palace.
6
H2353
There were hangings of white,
H3768
green,
H8504
and blue
H270
material, fastened
H2256
with cords
H948
of fine linen
H713
and purple
H3701
to silver
H1550
rings
H8336
and marble
H5982
pillars.
H4296
The couches
H2091
were of gold
H3701
and silver,
H7531
on a pavement
H923
of red,
H1858
white,
H8504
yellow,
H5508
and black
H8336
marble.
7
H8248
They gave them drinks
H2091
in golden
H3627
vessels
H8138
of various
H3627
kinds,
H4438
including royal
H3196
wine
H7227
in abundance,
H3027
according to the bounty
H4428
of the king.
8
H1881
In accordance with the law,
H8360
the drinking
H597
was not compulsory;
H4428
for so the king
H3245
had instructed
H7227
all the officials
H1004
of his house,
H6213
that they should do
H376
according to every man's
H7522
pleasure.
9
H2060
Also 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 Carcass,
H7651
the seven
H5631
eunuchs
H8334
who 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
H4438
with the royal
H3804
crown,
H7200
to show
H5971
the people
H8269
and the princes
H3308
her beauty;
H4758
for she was
H2896
beautiful.
12
H4436
But the queen
H2060
Vashti
H3985
refused
H935
to come
H4428
at the king's
H1697
commandment
H3027
by
H5631
the eunuchs.
H4428
Therefore the king
H3966
was very
H7107
angry,
H2534
and his anger
H1197
burned in him.
13
H4428
Then the king
H559
said
H2450
to the wise men,
H3045
who knew
H6256
the times,
H4428
(for it was the king's
H1697
custom
H6440
to consult
H3045
those who knew
H1881
law
H1779
and judgment;
14
H7138
and the next
H3771
to him were 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
who saw
H4428
the king's
H6440
face,
H3427
and sat
H7223
first
H4438
in the kingdom),
15
H6213
"What shall we do
H4436
to the queen
H2060
Vashti
H1881
according to law,
H6213
because she has not done
H3982
the bidding
H4428
of the King
H325
Ahasuerus
H3027
by
H5631
the eunuchs?"
16
H4462
Memucan
H559
answered
H6440
before
H4428
the king
H8269
and the princes,
H2060
"Vashti
H4436
the queen
H5753
has not done wrong
H4428
to just the king,
H8269
but also to all the princes,
H5971
and to all the people
H4082
who are in all the provinces
H4428
of the King
H325
Ahasuerus.
17
H1697
For this deed
H4436
of the queen
H3318
will become known
H802
to all women,
H5869
causing them to show
H959
contempt
H1167
for their husbands,
H559
when it is reported,
H4428
‘King
H325
Ahasuerus
H559
commanded
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H935
to be brought in
H6440
before
H935
him, but she didn't come.'
18
H3117
Today,
H8282
the princesses
H6539
of Persia
H4074
and Media
H8085
who have heard
H4436
of the queen's
H1697
deed
H559
will tell
H4428
all the king's
H8269
princes.
H1767
This will cause much
H963
contempt
H7110
and wrath.
19
H2895
"If it please
H4428
the king,
H4438
let a royal
H1697
commandment
H3318
go
H6440
from him,
H3789
and let it be written
H1881
among the laws
H6539
of the Persians
H4074
and the Medes,
H5674
so that it cannot be altered,
H2060
that Vashti
H935
may never again come
H6440
before
H4428
King
H325
Ahasuerus;
H4428
and let the king
H5414
give
H4438
her royal estate
H7468
to another
H2896
who is better than she.
20
H4428
When the king's
H6599
decree
H6213
which he shall make
H8085
is published
H4438
throughout all his kingdom
H7227
(for it is great),
H802
all the wives
H5414
will give
H1167
their husbands
H3366
honor,
H1419
both great
H6996
and small."
21
H1697
This advice
H3190
pleased
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
H4428
into all the king's
H4082
provinces,
H4082
into every province
H3791
according to its writing,
H5971
and to every people
H3956
in their language,
H376
that every man
H8323
should rule
H1004
his own house,
H1696
speaking
H3956
in the language
H5971
of his own people.
