Old Testament Esther 1

1Now it came to pass in the days H3117 of Ahasuerus H325 (this is Ahasuerus H325 who reigned H4427 from India H1912 even unto Ethiopia, H3568 over a hundred H3967 and seven H7651 and twenty H6242 provinces), H4082

2that in those days, H3117 when the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 sat H3427 on the throne H3678 of his kingdom, H4438 which was in Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002

3in the third H7969 year H8141 of his reign, H4427 he made H6213 a feast H4960 unto all his princes H8269 and his servants; H5650 the power H2428 of Persia H6539 and Media, H4074 the nobles H6579 and princes H8269 of the provinces, H4082 being before H6440 him;

4when he showed H7200 the riches H6239 of his glorious H3519 kingdom H4438 and the honor H3366 of his excellent H8597 majesty H1420 many H7227 days, H3117 even a hundred H3967 and fourscore H8084 days. H3117

5And when these days H3117 were fulfilled, H4390 the king H4428 made H6213 a feast H4960 unto all the people H5971 that were present H4672 in Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 both great H1419 and small, H6996 seven H7651 days, H3117 in the court H2691 of the garden H1594 of the king's H4428 palace. H1055

6[ There were hangings of] white H2353 [cloth], [of] green, H3768 and [of] blue, H8504 fastened H270 with cords H2256 of fine linen H948 and purple H713 to silver H3701 rings H1550 and pillars H5982 of marble: H8336 the couches H4296 were of gold H2091 and silver, H3701 upon a pavement H7531 of red, H923 and white, H1858 and yellow, H8504 and black H5508 marble. H8336

7And they gave them drink H8248 in vessels H3627 of gold H2091 (the vessels H3627 being diverse H8138 one from another), H3627 and royal H4438 wine H3196 in abundance, H7227 according to the bounty H3027 of the king. H4428

8And the drinking H8360 was according to the law; H1881 none could compel: H597 for so the king H4428 had appointed H3245 to all the officers H7227 of his house, H1004 that they should do H6213 according to every man's H376 pleasure. H7522

9Also Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 made H6213 a feast H4960 for the women H802 in the royal H4438 house H1004 which belonged to king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325

10On the seventh H7637 day, H3117 when the heart H3820 of the king H4428 was merry H2896 with wine, H3196 he commanded H559 Mehuman, H4104 Biztha, H968 Harbona, H2726 Bigtha, H903 and Abagtha, H5 Zethar, H2242 and Carcas, H3752 the seven H7651 chamberlains H5631 that ministered H8334 in the presence H6440 of Ahasuerus H325 the king, H4428

11to bring H935 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 before H6440 the king H4428 with the crown H3804 royal, H4438 to show H7200 the peoples H5971 and the princes H8269 her beauty; H3308 for she was fair H2896 to look on. H4758

12But the queen H4436 Vashti H2060 refused H3985 to come H935 at the king's H4428 commandment H1697 by H3027 the chamberlains: H5631 therefore was the king H4428 very H3966 wroth, H7107 and his anger H2534 burned H1197 in him.

13Then the king H4428 said H559 to the wise men, H2450 who knew H3045 the times, H6256 (for so was the king's H4428 manner H1697 toward H6440 all that knew H3045 law H1881 and judgment; H1779

14and the next H7138 unto him were Carshena, H3771 Shethar, H8369 Admatha, H133 Tarshish, H8659 Meres, H4825 Marsena, H4826 and Memucan, H4462 the seven H7651 princes H8269 of Persia H6539 and Media, H4074 who saw H7200 the king's H4428 face, H6440 and sat H3427 first H7223 in the kingdom), H4438

15What shall we do H6213 unto the queen H4436 Vashti H2060 according to law, H1881 because she hath not done H6213 the bidding H3982 of the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 by H3027 the chamberlains? H5631

16And Memucan H4462 answered H559 before H6440 the king H4428 and the princes, H8269 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 hath not done wrong H5753 to the king H4428 only, but also to all the princes, H8269 and to all the peoples H5971 that are in all the provinces H4082 of the king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325

17For this deed H1697 of the queen H4436 will come abroad H3318 unto all women, H802 to make their husbands H1167 contemptible H959 in their eyes, H5869 when it shall be reported, H559 The king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 commanded H559 Vashti H2060 the queen H4436 to be brought in H935 before H6440 him, but she came H935 not.

18And this day H3117 will the princesses H8282 of Persia H6539 and Media H4074 who have heard H8085 of the deed H1697 of the queen H4436 say H559 [the like] unto all the king's H4428 princes. H8269 So [will there arise] much H1767 contempt H963 and wrath. H7110

19If it please H2895 the king, H4428 let there go H3318 forth a royal H4438 commandment H1697 from him, H6440 and let it be written H3789 among the laws H1881 of the Persians H6539 and the Medes, H4074 that it be not altered, H5674 that Vashti H2060 come H935 no more before H6440 king H4428 Ahasuerus; H325 and let the king H4428 give H5414 her royal estate H4438 unto another H7468 that is better H2896 than she.

20And when the king's H4428 decree H6599 which he shall make H6213 shall be published H8085 throughout all his kingdom H4438 (for it is great), H7227 all the wives H802 will give H5414 to their husbands H1167 honor, H3366 both to great H1419 and small. H6996

21And the saying H1697 pleased H3190 the king H4428 and the princes; H8269 and the king H4428 did H6213 according to the word H1697 of Memucan: H4462

22for he sent H7971 letters H5612 into all the king's H4428 provinces, H4082 into every province H4082 according to the writing H3791 thereof, and to every people H5971 after their language, H3956 that every man H376 should bear rule H8323 in his own house, H1004 and should speak H1696 according to the language H3956 of his people.
