On the seventh
H3117
day,
H3820
when the heart
H4428
of the king
H2896
was merry
H3196
with wine,
H559 [H8804]
he commanded
H4104
Mehuman,
H968
Biztha,
H2726
Harbona,
H903
Bigtha,
H5
and Abagtha,
H2242
Zethar,
H3752
and Carcas,
H7651
the seven
H5631
chamberlains
H8334 [H8764]
that served
H6440
in the face
H325
of Ahasuerus
H4428
the king,
11
H935 [H8687]
To bring
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king
H3804
with the crown
H4438
royal,
H7200 [H8687]
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 [H8762]
refused
H935 [H8800]
to come
H4428
at the king's
H1697
commandment
H3027
by
H5631
his chamberlains:
H4428
therefore was the king
H3966
very
H7107 [H8799]
angry,
H2534
and his anger
H1197 [H8804]
burned in him.
13
H4428
Then the king
H559 [H8799]
said
H2450
to the wise men,
H3045 [H8802]
who knew
H6256
the times,
H4428
(for so was the king's
H1697
manner
H6440
toward
H3045 [H8802]
all 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 [H8802]
who saw
H4428
the king's
H6440
face,
H3427 [H8802]
and who sat
H7223
in the first place
H4438
in the kingdom;)
15
H6213 [H8800]
What shall we do
H4436
to the queen
H2060
Vashti
H1881
according to law,
H6213 [H8804]
because she hath not performed
H3982
the commandment
H4428
of the king
H325
Ahasuerus
H3027
by
H5631
the chamberlains?
16
H4462
And Memucan
H559 [H8799]
answered
H6440
at the face of
H4428
the king
H8269
and the princes,
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H5753 [H8804]
hath not done perversity
H4428
to the king
H8269
only, but also to all the princes,
H5971
and to all the people
H4082
that are in all the provinces
H4428
of the king
H325
Ahasuerus.
17
H1697
For this deed
H4436
of the queen
H3318 [H8799]
shall become known
H802
to all women,
H5869
so that they shall look
H959 [H8687]
with disesteem upon
H1167
their husbands,
H559 [H8800]
when it shall be reported,
H4428
The king
H325
Ahasuerus
H559 [H8804]
commanded
H2060
Vashti
H4436
the queen
H935 [H8687]
to be brought in
H6440
at the face of
H935 [H8804]
him, but she came not.
18
H8282
Likewise shall the ladies
H6539
of Persia
H4074
and Media
H559 [H8799]
say
H3117
this day
H4428
to all the king's
H8269
princes,
H8085 [H8804]
who have heard
H1697
of the deed
H4436
of the queen.
H1767
Thus shall there arise too much
H963
disesteem
H7110
and splintering rage.
19
H2895 [H8804]
If it pleaseth
H4428
the king,
H4438
let a royal
H1697
commandment
H3318 [H8799]
go
H6440
from him,
H3789 [H8735]
and let it be written
H1881
among the laws
H6539
of the Persians
H4074
and the Medes,
H5674 [H8799]
that it be not altered,
H2060
That Vashti
H935 [H8799]
come
H6440
no more at the face of
H4428
king
H325
Ahasuerus;
H4428
and let the king
H5414 [H8799]
give
H4438
her royal estate
H7468
to another
H2896
that is better than she.
20
H4428
And when the king's
H6599
decree
H6213 [H8799]
which he shall make
H8085 [H8738]
shall be proclaimed
H4438
throughout all his empire,
H7227
(for it is great,
H802
) all the wives
H5414 [H8799]
shall give
H1167
to their husbands
H3366
honour,
H1419
both to great
H6996
and small.
21
H1697
And the saying
H3190 H5869 [H8799]
pleased
H4428
the king
H8269
and the princes;
H4428
and the king
H6213 [H8799]
did
H1697
according to the word
H4462
of Memucan:
22
H7971 [H8799]
For he sent
H5612
letters
H4428
into all the king's
H4082
provinces,
H4082
into every province
H3791
according to the writing
H5971
of it, and to every people
H3956
after their language,
H376
that every man
H8323 [H8802]
should bear rule
H1004
in his own house,
H1696 [H8764]
and that it should be proclaimed
H3956
in the language
H5971
of every people.
