Queen Vashti’s Refusal
9 Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Xerxes.
10 On the seventh day, when the king’s heart was merry with wine, he ordered the seven eunuchs who served him—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas—11 to bring Queen Vashti before him, [wearing] her royal crown, to display her beauty to the people and officials. For she [was] beautiful to behold.
12 Queen Vashti, however, refused to come at the king’s command [brought] by [his] eunuchs. And the king became furious, and his anger burned within him.
