5And when these daysH3117 were fulfilled, the kingH4428 madeH6213 a feastH4960 unto all the peopleH5971 that were present in Shushan the palaceH1055, both greatH1419 and smallH6996, sevenH7651 daysH3117, in the courtH2691 of the gardenH1594 of the king’sH4428 palaceH1055. 6There were hangings of whiteH2353 cloth, of green, and of blueH8504, fastened with cordsH2256 of fineH8336 linenH8336 and purpleH713 to silverH3701 rings and pillarsH5982 of marble: the couchesH4296 were of goldH2091 and silverH3701, upon a pavementH7531 of red, and whiteH2353, and yellow, and black marble. 7And they gaveH8248 them drinkH8248 in vesselsH3627 of goldH2091 (the vesselsH3627 being diverse one from another), and royal wineH3196 in abundance, according to the bounty of the kingH4428. 8And the drinking was according to the lawH1881; none could compel: for so the kingH4428 had appointedH3245 to all the officers of his houseH1004, that they should do according to every man’sH376 pleasureH7522.
