@ But the
queen
Vashti
refused
to
come
at the
kings
commandment
by
his
chamberlains
: therefore was the
king
very
wroth
, and his
anger
burned
in him.

@ Then the
king
said
to the wise
men
, which
knew
the
times

manner

all that
knew
law

judgment

next
unto him was
Carshena
,
Shethar
,
Admatha
,
Tarshish
,
Meres
,
Marsena
, and
Memucan

seven
princes

do
unto the
queen
Vashti
according to
law
, because she hath not
performed
the
commandment
of the
king
Ahasuerus
by
the

Memucan
answered
before

Vashti
the
queen
hath not done
wrong
to the
king
only, but also to all the
princes
, and to all the
people
that are in all the
provinces
of the
king
Ahasuerus

@ For this
deed
of the
queen
shall come
abroad
unto all
women
, so that they shall
despise
their
husbands
in their
eyes
, when it shall be
reported
, The
king
Ahasuerus
commanded
Vashti
the
queen
to be brought
in
before
him, but she
came
not.

@ Likewise shall the
ladies
of
Persia

say
this
day
unto all the

princes

heard
of the
deed
of the
queen
. Thus shall there arise too
much
contempt
and
wrath

strkjv@Esther:1:19
@ If it
please
the

go
a
royal
commandment
from
him

written
among the
laws
of the
Persians
and the
Medes
, that it be not
altered
, That
Vashti
come
no more
before
king
Ahasuerus

king
give
her royal
estate
unto
another
that is
better
than she.
