New American Standard Bible

Queen Vashti’s Refusal

¹⁰ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was ^(A)cheerful with wine, he ordered Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus, ¹¹ to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal ^(B)turban in order to display her beauty to the people and the officials, for she was beautiful. ¹² But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s order ^[a]delivered by the eunuchs. So the king became very angry, and his wrath burned within him.
