*
And they gave them drink in vessels of gold , (
the vessels being diverse one from another ,)
and royal wine in abundance ,
according to the state of the king .
*
And the drinking was according to the law ;
none did compel :
for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house ,
that they should do according to every man '
s pleasure .
*
Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus .
*
On 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 ,
*
To bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal ,
to shew the people and the princes her beauty :
for she was fair to look on .
