9Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women the royal house which to king Ahasuerus.
10On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,
11To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to shew the people and the princes her beauty: for she fair to look on.
12But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.
