Esther 1:5-8

5When this feast finished, he gave another feast for everyone who lived in Susa. It was for people who were important, and for ordinary people as well. The feast continued for seven days. It was in part of the garden of the king's palace.

6The gardens had curtains made of expensive white linen and purple material. They hung from silver rings on white stone pillars. White and purple strings held the curtains. There were seats made from gold and silver. The floor had many kinds of valuable stones to make it beautiful.

7People at the feast drank from gold cups. Each cup was different. The king gave plenty of his own wine to everyone to drink.

8Everyone could drink as much wine as they wanted. The king told his officers to give each person what they wanted, no more and no less.
