Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ On the seventh day, when the king was feeling good from the wine,^(A) Ahasuerus commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona,^(B) Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas, the seven eunuchs^(C) who personally served him, ¹¹ to bring Queen Vashti before him with her royal crown. He wanted to show off her beauty to the people and the officials, because she was very beautiful.^{(D) 12} But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command that was delivered by his eunuchs. The king became furious and his anger burned within him.^(E)
