Esther 1:19-20

19“If it meets the king’s approval, he should personally issue a royal decree. Let it be recorded in the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it cannot be revoked: Vashti is not to enter King Ahasuerus’s presence, and her royal position is to be given to another woman who is more worthy than she.

20The decree the king issues will be heard throughout his vast kingdom, so all women will honor their husbands, from the greatest to the least.”
