Esther 1:13-16
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?”
16In the presence of the king and the princes, Memucan said, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
