V.1 Now it came to pass in the days 3117 of Ahasuerus, 325 (this [is] Ahasuerus 325 which reigned, 4427-6 from India 1912 even unto Ethiopia, 3568 [over] an hundred 3967 and seven 7651 and twenty 6242 provinces:) 4082

1:2 [That] in those days, 3117 when the king 4428 Ahasuerus 325 sat 3427-2 on the throne 3678 of his kingdom, 4438 which [was] in Shushan 7800 the palace, 1002

1:3 In the third 7969 year 8141 of his reign, 4427-2 he made 6213-1 a feast 4960 unto all his princes 8269 and his servants; 5650 the power 2428 of Persia 6539 and Media, 4074 the nobles 6579 and princes 8269 of the provinces, 4082 [being] before 6440 him:

1:4 When he shewed 7200-53 the riches 6239 of his glorious 3519 kingdom 4438 and the honour 3366 of his excellent 8597 majesty 1420 many 7227 days, 3117 [even] an hundred 3967 and fourscore 8084 days. 3117

1:5 And when these days 3117 were expired, 4390-2 the king 4428 made 6213-1 a feast 4960 unto all the people 5971 that were present 4672-12 in Shushan 7800 the palace, 1002 both unto great 1419 and small, 6996 seven 7651 days, 3117 in the court 2691 of the garden 1594 of the king's 4428 palace; 1055

1:6 [Where were] white, 2353 green, 3768 and blue, 8504 [hangings], fastened 270-7 with cords 2256 of fine linen 948 and purple 713 to silver 3701 rings 1550 and pillars 5982 of marble: 8336 the beds 4296 [were of] gold 2091 and silver, 3701 upon a pavement 7531 of red, 923 and blue, 8336 and white, 1858 and black, 5508 marble.

1:7 And they gave [them] drink 8248-53 in vessels 3627 of gold, 2091 (the vessels 3627 being diverse 8138-6 one from another,) 3627 and royal 4438 wine 3196 in abundance, 7227 according to the state 3027 of the king. 4428

1:8 And the drinking 8360 [was] according to the law; 1881 none did compel: 597-6 for so the king 4428 had appointed 3245-14 to all the officers 7227 of his house, 1004 that they should do 6213-2 according to every man's 376 376 pleasure. 7522

1:9 Also Vashti 2060 the queen 4436 made 6213-1 a feast 4960 for the women 802 [in] the royal 4438 house 1004 which [belonged] to king 4428 Ahasuerus. 325

1:10 On the seventh 7637 day, 3117 when the heart 3820 of the king 4428 was merry 2896 with wine, 3196 he commanded 559-1 Mehuman, 4104 Biztha, 968 Harbona, 2726 Bigtha, 903 and Abagtha, 5 Zethar, 2242 and Carcas, 3752 the seven 7651 chamberlains 5631 that served 8334-18 in the presence 6440 of Ahasuerus 325 the king, 4428

1:11 To bring 935-53 Vashti 2060 the queen 4436 before 6440 the king 4428 with the crown 3804 royal, 4438 to shew 7200-53 the people 5971 and the princes 8269 her beauty: 3308 for she [was] fair 2896 to look on. 4758

1:12 But the queen 4436 Vashti 2060 refused 3985-17 to come 935-2 at the king's 4428 commandment 1697 by 3027 [his] chamberlains: 5631 therefore was the king 4428 very 3966 wroth, 7107-4 and his anger 2534 burned 1197-1 in him.

1:13 Then the king 4428 said 559-4 to the wise men, 2450 which knew 3045-6 the times, 6256 (for so [was] the king's 4428 manner 1697 toward 6440 all that knew 3045-6 law 1881 and judgment: 1779

1:14 And the next 7138 unto him [was] Carshena, 3771 Shethar, 8369 Admatha, 133 Tarshish, 8659 Meres, 4825 Marsena, 4826 [and] Memucan, 4462 the seven 7651 princes 8269 of Persia 6539 and Media, 4074 which saw 7200-6 the king's 4428 face, 6440 [and] which sat 3427-6 the first 7223 in the kingdom;) 4438

1:15 What shall we do 6213-2 unto the queen 4436 Vashti 2060 according to law, 1881 because she hath not performed 6213-1 the commandment 3982 of the king 4428 Ahasuerus 325 by 3027 the chamberlains? 5631

1:16 And Memucan 4462 answered 559-4 before 6440 the king 4428 and the princes, 8269 Vashti 2060 the queen 4436 hath not done wrong 5753-1 to the king 4428 only, but also to all the princes, 8269 and to all the people 5971 that [are] in all the provinces 4082 of the king 4428 Ahasuerus. 325

1:17 For [this] deed 1697 of the queen 4436 shall come abroad 3318-4 unto all women, 802 so that they shall despise 959-53 their husbands 1167 in their eyes, 5869 when it shall be reported, 559-2 The king 4428 Ahasuerus 325 commanded 559-1 Vashti 2060 the queen 4436 to be brought in 935-53 before 6440 him, but she came 935-1 not.

1:18 [Likewise] shall the ladies 8282 of Persia 6539 and Media 4074 say 559-4 this day 3117 unto all the king's 4428 princes, 8269 which have heard 8085-1 of the deed 1697 of the queen. 4436 Thus [shall there arise] too much 1767 contempt 963 and wrath. 7110

1:19 If it please 2895-1 the king, 4428 let there go 3318-4 a royal 4438 commandment 1697 from 6440 him, and let it be written 3789-11 among the laws 1881 of the Persians 6539 and the Medes, 4074 that it be not altered, 5674-4 That Vashti 2060 come 935-4 no more before 6440 king 4428 Ahasuerus; 325 and let the king 4428 give 5414-4 her royal estate 4438 unto another 7468 that is better 2896 than she.

1:20 And when the king's 4428 decree 6599 which he shall make 6213-4 shall be published 8085-8 throughout all his empire, 4438 (for it is great,) 7227 all the wives 802 shall give 5414-4 to their husbands 1167 honour, 3366 both to great 1419 and small. 6996

1:21 And the saying 1697 pleased 3190-4 5869 the king 4428 and the princes; 8269 and the king 4428 did 6213-4 according to the word 1697 of Memucan: 4462

1:22 For he sent 7971-4 letters 5612 into all the king's 4428 provinces, 4082 into every province 4082 4082 according to the writing 3791 thereof, and to every people 5971 5971 after their language, 3956 that every man 376 should bear rule 8323-6 in his own house, 1004 and that [it] should be published 1696-18 according to the language 3956 of every people. 5971
