12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. The king became furious, and his anger burned within him.
13 Then the king consulted the wise men who understood the times, for it was the king's custom to speak before all who understood law and judgment.
14 The closest advisers to the king were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who had access to the king's presence and held the highest positions in the kingdom.
15 The king asked, 'According to the law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti for not obeying the command of King Ahasuerus conveyed through the eunuchs?'
16 Memucan responded in the presence of the king and the officials, 'Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the officials and all the peoples in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.'

20 When the king's edict is proclaimed throughout his vast kingdom, all the women will give respect to their husbands, from the least to the greatest.
