14and were close to him: Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media 1who 2had 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 3obey 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.
