Esther 1:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² The king's servants told Queen Vashti what he had said, but she refused to go to him, and this made him terribly angry.

^13-14 The king called in the seven highest officials of Persia and Media. They were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan. These men were very wise and understood all the laws and customs of the country, and the king always asked them what they thought about such matters.
