Esther 1:14-16
14and were close to him, namely, Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven officials 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, since she did not 3obey the command of King Ahasuerus 4delivered by the eunuchs?”
16And in the presence of the king and the other officials, Memucan said, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the officials and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.
