Queen Vashti’s Refusal

¹⁰ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was ^(A)merry with wine, he said for Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who attended to the presence of King Ahasuerus, ¹¹ to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal ^(B)crown in order to display her beauty to the people and the princes, for she was ^[a]beautiful in appearance. ¹² But Queen Vashti refused to come at the word of the king which was delivered by the hand of the eunuchs. Then the king became exceedingly furious, and his wrath burned within him.
