    13Then 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.

    14The 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.

    15The 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?'

    16Memucan 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.'

    17For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women, causing them to look down on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus ordered Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.'

    18Today the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen's actions will say the same to all the king's officials, leading to much contempt and anger.

    19If it pleases the king, let a royal decree be issued, written in the laws of Persia and Media which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Ahasuerus. Also, let the king give her royal position to someone who is better than she.

    20When 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.

    21The proposal pleased the king and the officials, and the king did as Memucan suggested.

    12When it was the turn of each young woman to go to King Ahasuerus, after completing twelve months of beauty treatments as prescribed—the six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and cosmetics for women—

    13the young woman would go to the king, and she was given whatever she requested to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.

    14She would go in the evening, and in the morning she would return to a second harem under the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not go to the king again unless he delighted in her and summoned her by name.

    15When it was Esther’s turn—the daughter of Abihail, the uncle of Mordecai who had adopted her as his own daughter—to go to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, recommended. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.

    16Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

    17Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she won his favor and kindness more than any of the other virgins. So he placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
