Esther 1

Now it came to pass in the days
<03117>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

(this [is] Ahasuerus
<0325>

which reigned
<04427> (8802)_,

from India
<01912>

even unto Ethiopia
<03568>_,

[over] an hundred
<03967>

and seven
<07651>

and twenty
<06242>

provinces
<04082>:)

[That] in those days
<03117>_,

when the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

sat
<03427> (8800)

on the throne
<03678>

of his kingdom
<04438>_,

which [was] in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

In the third
<07969>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04427> (8800)_,

he made
<06213> (8804)

a feast
<04960>

unto all his princes
<08269>

and his servants
<05650>_;

the power
<02428>

of Persia
<06539>

and Media
<04074>_,

the nobles
<06579>

and princes
<08269>

of the provinces
<04082>_,

[being] before
<06440>

him:

When he shewed
<07200> (8687)

the riches
<06239>

of his glorious
<03519>

kingdom
<04438>

and the honour
<03366>

of his excellent
<08597>

majesty
<01420>

many
<07227>

days
<03117>_,

[even] an hundred
<03967>

and fourscore
<08084>

days
<03117>_.

And when these days
<03117>

were expired
<04390> (8800)_,

the king
<04428>

made
<06213> (8804)

a feast
<04960>

unto all the people
<05971>

that were present
<04672> (8737)

in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

both unto great
<01419>

and small
<06996>_,

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_,

in the court
<02691>

of the garden
<01594>

of the king's
<04428>

palace
<01055>_;

{present: Heb. found}

[Where were] white
<02353>_,

green
<03768>_,

and blue
<08504>_,

[hangings], fastened
<0270> (8803)

with cords
<02256>

of fine linen
<0948>

and purple
<0713>

to silver
<03701>

rings
<01550>

and pillars
<05982>

of marble
<08336>_:

the beds
<04296>

[were of] gold
<02091>

and silver
<03701>_,

upon a pavement
<07531>

of red
<0923>_,

and blue
<08504>_,

and white
<01858>_,

and black
<05508>_,

<08336>_.

{blue, hangings: or, violet, etc} {of red...: or, of porphyre, and marble and alabaster, and stone of blue colour}

And they gave [them] drink
<08248> (8687)

in vessels
<03627>

of gold
<02091>_,

(the vessels
<03627>

being diverse
<08138> (8802)

one from another
<03627>,)

and royal
<04438>

wine
<03196>

in abundance
<07227>_,

according to the state
<03027>

of the king
<04428>_.

{royal...: Heb. wine of the kingdom} {state: Heb. hand}

And the drinking
<08360>

[was] according to the law
<01881>_;

none did compel
<0597> (8802)_:

for so the king
<04428>

had appointed
<03245> (8765)

to all the officers
<07227>

of his house
<01004>_,

that they should do
<06213> (8800)

according to every man's
<0376>

pleasure
<07522>_.

Also Vashti
<02060>

the queen
<04436>

made
<06213> (8804)

a feast
<04960>

for the women
<0802>

[in] the royal
<04438>

house
<01004>

which [belonged] to king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_.

On the seventh
<07637>

day
<03117>_,

when the heart
<03820>

of the king
<04428>

was merry
<02896>

with wine
<03196>_,

he commanded
<0559> (8804)

Mehuman
<04104>_,

Biztha
<0968>_,

Harbona
<02726>_,

Bigtha
<0903>_,

and Abagtha
<05>_,

Zethar
<02242>_,

and Carcas
<03752>_,

the seven
<07651>

chamberlains
<05631>

that served
<08334> (8764)

in the presence
<06440>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>

the king
<04428>_,

{chamberlains: or, eunuchs}

To bring
<0935> (8687)

Vashti
<02060>

the queen
<04436>

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

with the crown
<03804>

royal
<04438>_,

to shew
<07200> (8687)

the people
<05971>

and the princes
<08269>

her beauty
<03308>_:

for she [was] fair
<02896>

to look on
<04758>_.

{fair...: Heb. good of countenance}

But the queen
<04436>

Vashti
<02060>

refused
<03985> (8762)

to come
<0935> (8800)

at the king's
<04428>

commandment
<01697>

by
<03027>

[his] chamberlains
<05631>_:

therefore was the king
<04428>

very
<03966>

wroth
<07107> (8799)_,

and his anger
<02534>

burned
<01197> (8804)

in him. {by his...: Heb. which was by the hand of his eunuchs}

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to the wise men
<02450>_,

which knew
<03045> (8802)

the times
<06256>_,

(for so [was] the king's
<04428>

manner
<01697>

toward
<06440>

all that knew
<03045> (8802)

law
<01881>

and judgment
<01779>_:

And the next
<07138>

unto him [was] Carshena
<03771>_,

Shethar
<08369>_,

Admatha
<0133>_,

Tarshish
<08659>_,

Meres
<04825>_,

Marsena
<04826>_,

[and] Memucan
<04462>_,

the seven
<07651>

princes
<08269>

of Persia
<06539>

and Media
<04074>_,

which saw
<07200> (8802)

the king's
<04428>

face
<06440>_,

[and] which sat
<03427> (8802)

the first
<07223>

in the kingdom
<04438>;)

What shall we do
<06213> (8800)

unto the queen
<04436>

Vashti
<02060>

according to law
<01881>_,

because she hath not performed
<06213> (8804)

the commandment
<03982>

of the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

by
<03027>

the chamberlains
<05631>_?

{What...: Heb. What to do}

And Memucan
<04462>

answered
<0559> (8799)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

and the princes
<08269>_,

Vashti
<02060>

the queen
<04436>

hath not done wrong
<05753> (8804)

to the king
<04428>

only, but also to all the princes
<08269>_,

and to all the people
<05971>

that [are] in all the provinces
<04082>

of the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_.

For [this] deed
<01697>

of the queen
<04436>

shall come abroad
<03318> (8799)

unto all women
<0802>_,

so that they shall despise
<0959> (8687)

their husbands
<01167>

in their eyes
<05869>_,

when it shall be reported
<0559> (8800)_,

The king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

commanded
<0559> (8804)

Vashti
<02060>

the queen
<04436>

to be brought in
<0935> (8687)

before
<06440>

him, but she came
<0935> (8804)

not.

[Likewise] shall the ladies
<08282>

of Persia
<06539>

and Media
<04074>

say
<0559> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto all the king's
<04428>

princes
<08269>_,

which have heard
<08085> (8804)

of the deed
<01697>

of the queen
<04436>_.

Thus [shall there arise] too much
<01767>

contempt
<0963>

and wrath
<07110>_.

If it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

let there go
<03318> (8799)

a royal
<04438>

commandment
<01697>

from him
<06440>_,

and let it be written
<03789> (8735)

among the laws
<01881>

of the Persians
<06539>

and the Medes
<04074>_,

that it be not altered
<05674> (8799)_,

That Vashti
<02060>

come
<0935> (8799)

no more before
<06440>

king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_;

and let the king
<04428>

give
<05414> (8799)

her royal estate
<04438>

unto another
<07468>

that is better
<02896>

than she. {If it...: Heb. If it be good with the king} {unto...: Heb. unto her companion} {from him: Heb. from before him} {be not...: Heb. pass not away}

And when the king's
<04428>

decree
<06599>

which he shall make
<06213> (8799)

shall be published
<08085> (8738)

throughout all his empire
<04438>_,

(for it is great
<07227>,)

all the wives
<0802>

shall give
<05414> (8799)

to their husbands
<01167>

honour
<03366>_,

both to great
<01419>

and small
<06996>_.

And the saying
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the king
<04428>

and the princes
<08269>_;

and the king
<04428>

did
<06213> (8799)

according to the word
<01697>

of Memucan
<04462>_:

{pleased...: Heb. was good in the eyes of the king}

For he sent
<07971> (8799)

letters
<05612>

into all the king's
<04428>

provinces
<04082>_,

into every province
<04082>

according to the writing
<03791>

thereof, and to every people
<05971>

after their language
<03956>_,

that every man
<0376>

should bear rule
<08323> (8802)

in his own house
<01004>_,

and that [it] should be published
<01696> (8764)

according to the language
<03956>

of every people
<05971>_.

{that it...: Heb. that one should publish it according to the language of his people}
