Esther 1:13-19

13Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to the wise menH2450, which knewH3045 the timesH6256, (for so was the king’sH4428 mannerH1697 towardH6440 all that knewH3045 lawH1881 and judgmentH1779: 14And the nextH7138 unto him was CarshenaH3771, ShetharH8369, AdmathaH133, TarshishH8659, MeresH4825, MarsenaH4826, and MemucanH4462, the sevenH7651 princesH8269 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074, which sawH7200 the king’sH4428 faceH6440, and which satH3427 the firstH7223 in the kingdomH4438;) 15What shall we doH6213 unto the queenH4436 VashtiH2060 according to lawH1881, because she hath not performedH6213 the commandmentH3982 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 byH3027 the chamberlainsH5631?1 16And MemucanH4462 answeredH559 beforeH6440 the kingH4428 and the princesH8269, VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 hath not done wrongH5753 to the kingH4428 only, but also to all the princesH8269, and to all the peopleH5971 that are in all the provincesH4082 of the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325. 17For this deedH1697 of the queenH4436 shall come abroadH3318 unto all womenH802, so that they shall despiseH959 their husbandsH1167 in their eyesH5869, when it shall be reportedH559, The kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 commandedH559 VashtiH2060 the queenH4436 to be brought inH935 beforeH6440 him, but she cameH935 not. 18Likewise shall the ladiesH8282 of PersiaH6539 and MediaH4074 sayH559 this dayH3117 unto all the king’sH4428 princesH8269, which have heardH8085 of the deedH1697 of the queenH4436. Thus shall there arise too muchH1767 contemptH963 and wrathH7110. 19If it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428, let there goH3318 a royalH4438 commandmentH1697 from himH6440, and let it be writtenH3789 among the lawsH1881 of the PersiansH6539 and the MedesH4074, that it be not alteredH5674, That VashtiH2060 comeH935 no more beforeH6440 kingH4428 AhasuerusH325; and let the kingH4428 giveH5414 her royal estateH4438 unto anotherH7468 that is betterH2896 than she.2345
