Now it came to pass in the days [3117] of Ahasuerus, [0325] (this [is] Ahasuerus [0325] which reigned, [4427] from India [1912] even unto Ethiopia, [3568] [over] an hundred [3967] and seven [7651] and twenty [6242] provinces:) [4082]

2

[That] in those days, [3117] when the king [4428] Ahasuerus [0325] sat [3427] on the throne [3678] of his kingdom, [4438] which [was] in Shushan [7800] the palace, [1002]

3

In the third [7969] year [8141] of his reign, [4427] he made [6213] a feast [4960] unto all his princes [8269] and his servants; [5650] the power [2428] of Persia [6539] and Media, [4074] the nobles [6579] and princes [8269] of the provinces, [4082] [being] before [6440] him:

4

When he shewed [7200] the riches [6239] of his glorious [3519] kingdom [4438] and the honour [3366] of his excellent [8597] majesty [1420] many [7227] days, [3117] [even] an hundred [3967] and fourscore [8084] days. [3117]

5

And when these days [3117] were expired, [4390] the king [4428] made [6213] a feast [4960] unto all the people [5971] that were present [4672] in Shushan [7800] the palace, [1002] both unto great [1419] and small, [6996] seven [7651] days, [3117] in the court [2691] of the garden [1594] of the king's [4428] palace; [1055]

6

[Where were] white, [2353] green, [3768] and blue, [8504] [hangings], fastened [0270] with cords [2256] of fine linen [0948] and purple [0713] to silver [3701] rings [1550] and pillars [5982] of marble: [8336] the beds [4296] [were of] gold [2091] and silver, [3701] upon a pavement [7531] of red, [0923] and blue, [8336] and white, [1858] and black, [5508] marble.

7

And they gave [them] drink [8248] in vessels [3627] of gold, [2091] (the vessels [3627] being diverse [8138] one from another,) [3627] and royal [4438] wine [3196] in abundance, [7227] according to the state [3027] of the king. [4428]

8

And the drinking [8360] [was] according to the law; [1881] none did compel: [0597] for so the king [4428] had appointed [3245] to all the officers [7227] of his house, [1004] that they should do [6213] according to every man's [0376] [0376] pleasure. [7522]

9

Also Vashti [2060] the queen [4436] made [6213] a feast [4960] for the women [0802] [in] the royal [4438] house [1004] which [belonged] to king [4428] Ahasuerus. [0325]

10

On the seventh [7637] day, [3117] when the heart [3820] of the king [4428] was merry [2896] with wine, [3196] he commanded [0559] Mehuman, [4104] Biztha, [0968] Harbona, [2726] Bigtha, [0903] and Abagtha, [0005] Zethar, [2242] and Carcas, [3752] the seven [7651] chamberlains [5631] that served [8334] in the presence [6440] of Ahasuerus [0325] the king, [4428]

11

To bring [0935] Vashti [2060] the queen [4436] before [6440] the king [4428] with the crown [3804] royal, [4438] to shew [7200] the people [5971] and the princes [8269] her beauty: [3308] for she [was] fair [2896] to look on. [4758]

12

But the queen [4436] Vashti [2060] refused [3985] to come [0935] at the king's [4428] commandment [1697] by [3027] [his] chamberlains: [5631] therefore was the king [4428] very [3966] wroth, [7107] and his anger [2534] burned [1197] in him.

13

Then the king [4428] said [0559] to the wise men, [2450] which knew [3045] the times, [6256] (for so [was] the king's [4428] manner [1697] toward [6440] all that knew [3045] law [1881] and judgment: [1779]

14

And the next [7138] unto him [was] Carshena, [3771] Shethar, [8369] Admatha, [0133] Tarshish, [8659] Meres, [4825] Marsena, [4826] [and] Memucan, [4462] the seven [7651] princes [8269] of Persia [6539] and Media, [4074] which saw [7200] the king's [4428] face, [6440] [and] which sat [3427] the first [7223] in the kingdom;) [4438]

15

What shall we do [6213] unto the queen [4436] Vashti [2060] according to law, [1881] because she hath not performed [6213] the commandment [3982] of the king [4428] Ahasuerus [0325] by [3027] the chamberlains? [5631]

16

And Memucan [4462] answered [0559] before [6440] the king [4428] and the princes, [8269] Vashti [2060] the queen [4436] hath not done wrong [5753] to the king [4428] only, but also to all the princes, [8269] and to all the people [5971] that [are] in all the provinces [4082] of the king [4428] Ahasuerus. [0325]

17

For [this] deed [1697] of the queen [4436] shall come abroad [3318] unto all women, [0802] so that they shall despise [0959] their husbands [1167] in their eyes, [5869] when it shall be reported, [0559] The king [4428] Ahasuerus [0325] commanded [0559] Vashti [2060] the queen [4436] to be brought in [0935] before [6440] him, but she came [0935] not.

18

[Likewise] shall the ladies [8282] of Persia [6539] and Media [4074] say [0559] this day [3117] unto all the king's [4428] princes, [8269] which have heard [8085] of the deed [1697] of the queen. [4436] Thus [shall there arise] too much [1767] contempt [0963] and wrath. [7110]

19

If it please [2895] the king, [4428] let there go [3318] a royal [4438] commandment [1697] from [6440] him, and let it be written [3789] among the laws [1881] of the Persians [6539] and the Medes, [4074] that it be not altered, [5674] That Vashti [2060] come [0935] no more before [6440] king [4428] Ahasuerus; [0325] and let the king [4428] give [5414] her royal estate [4438] unto another [7468] that is better [2896] than she.

20

And when the king's [4428] decree [6599] which he shall make [6213] shall be published [8085] throughout all his empire, [4438] (for it is great,) [7227] all the wives [0802] shall give [5414] to their husbands [1167] honour, [3366] both to great [1419] and small. [6996]

21

And the saying [1697] pleased [3190] [5869] the king [4428] and the princes; [8269] and the king [4428] did [6213] according to the word [1697] of Memucan: [4462]

22

For he sent [7971] letters [5612] into all the king's [4428] provinces, [4082] into every province [4082] [4082] according to the writing [3791] thereof, and to every people [5971] [5971] after their language, [3956] that every man [0376] should bear rule [8323] in his own house, [1004] and that [it] should be published [1696] according to the language [3956] of every people.
