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>

<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>

<03701>
rings
<01550>
and pillars
<05982>
of marble
<08336>_:
the beds
<04296>
[were of] gold
<02091>
and silver
<03701>_,
upon a pavement
<07531>

<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)

<04438>
wine
<03196>
in abundance
<07227>_,
according to the state
<03027>

<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>_.
