Esther 1:4-6

41And he displayed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor of his great majesty for many days, 180 days.

5When these days were completed, the king gave a banquet lasting seven days for all the people who were present at the citadel in Susa, from the greatest to the least, in the court of 2the garden of the king’s palace. 6There were hangings of fine white and violet linen held by cords of fine purple linen on silver rings and marble columns, and 3couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.
