Esther 1:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² The eunuchs told Queen Vashti what the king had commanded. But she refused to go to him. This made the king very angry.

¹³ The king spoke to his wise advisors about what had happened. These men understood the laws and customs of Persia. When something like this happened, the king would ask them what he should do. ¹⁴ The seven advisors who were often with the king were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memukan. These men were the most important officers in the kingdom.
