    8The drinking was done according to royal decree with no restrictions, for the king had ordered all the stewards of his household to allow each person to drink as they desired.

    9Queen Vashti also held a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Ahasuerus.

    10On the seventh day, when the king was in high spirits from the wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,

    11to bring Queen Vashti before the king wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and officials, for she was very beautiful.

    12But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. The king became furious, and his anger burned within him.

    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.'

    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.
