    12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by his eunuchs; therefore, the king was very angry, and his fury burned within him.

    13 Then the king said to the wise men who knew the times (for so was the king's manner toward all who knew law and judgment,

    14 And the closest to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face and who sat first in the kingdom).

    15 What shall we do to Queen Vashti according to law, because she has not performed the commandment of King Ahasuerus by the eunuchs?

    16 And Memucan answered before the king and the princes, 'Queen Vashti has not only wronged the king but also all the princes and all the people who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

    17 For the queen's actions shall be made known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported,

    18 Likewise, shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day to all the king's princes who have heard of the queen's action. Thus, there shall arise much contempt and wrath.

    19 If it pleases the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it shall not be altered, that Vashti shall no more come before King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal estate to another who is better than she.

    20 And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire (for it is great), all the wives shall give to their husbands honor, both to great and small.

    21 And the saying pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan.

    11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.

    12 Now when every maid's turn had come to go in to King Ahasuerus, after she had completed twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for thus were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)

    13 Then thus came every maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given to her to go with her from the house of the women to the king's house.

    14 In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, under the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the concubines: she came to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.

    15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who looked upon her.

    16 So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

    17 And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

    18 Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.

    9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, suitable to be given to her, from the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids to the best place of the house of the women.
