<< Nehemiah 13 | Esther 2 ⮞

1 Now in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over one hundred twenty-seven provinces), Esther 1:1WEB
2 in those days, when the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Susa the palace, Esther 1:2WEB
3 in the third year of his reign, he made a feast for all his princes and his servants; the army of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces being before him. Esther 1:3WEB
4 He displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even one hundred eighty days. Esther 1:4WEB
5 When these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Susa the palace, both great and small, in the court of the garden of the king’s palace. Esther 1:5WEB
6 There were hangings of white and blue material, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple to silver rings and marble pillars. The couches were of gold and silver, on a pavement of red, white, yellow, and black marble. Esther 1:6WEB
7 They gave them drinks in golden vessels of various kinds, including royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king. Esther 1:7WEB
8 In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure. Esther 1:8WEB
9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to King Ahasuerus. Esther 1:9WEB
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 Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, Esther 1:10WEB
11 to bring Vashti the queen before the king wearing the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful. Esther 1:11WEB
12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was very angry, and his anger burned in him. Esther 1:12WEB
13 Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times (for it was the king’s custom to consult those who knew law and judgment; Esther 1:13WEB
14 and next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom), Esther 1:14WEB
15 “What shall we do to Queen Vashti according to law, because she has not done the bidding of the King Ahasuerus by the eunuchs?” Esther 1:15WEB
16 Memucan answered before the king and the princes, “Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the princes, and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus. Esther 1:16WEB
17 For this deed of the queen will become known to all women, causing them to show contempt for their husbands when it is reported, ‘King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she didn’t come.’ Esther 1:17WEB
18 Today, the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen’s deed will tell all the king’s princes. This will cause much contempt and wrath. Esther 1:18WEB
19 “If it pleases the king, let a royal commandment go from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be altered, that Vashti may never again come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she. Esther 1:19WEB
20 When the king’s decree which he shall make is published throughout all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give their husbands honor, both great and small.” Esther 1:20WEB
21 This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan: Esther 1:21WEB
22 for he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, that every man should rule his own house, speaking in the language of his own people. Esther 1:22WEB
