Esther 1:13-15
13Then the king said to 1the wise men 2who understood the times--for it was the custom of the king so to speak before all who knew law and justice
14and were close to him: Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media 3who 4had access to the king’s presence and sat in the first place in the kingdom--
15“According to law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti, because she did not 5obey the command of King Ahasuerus delivered by the eunuchs?”
