Esther 1:10-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁰ On the seventh day of the feast, King Xerxes was feeling happy, because he had drunk so much wine. He had seven eunuchs who served him in the palace. Their names were Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Carcas. ¹¹ He told them to bring Queen Vashti to him. He said that she must wear her royal crown. He wanted to show everyone at his feast how beautiful his queen was. She was a very beautiful woman. ¹² The eunuchs told Queen Vashti what the king had commanded. But she refused to go to him. This made the king very angry.
