Greek Esther 1:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ After this, when he had displayed to them the riches of his kingdom and the splendor of his bountiful celebration during the course of one hundred eighty days, ⁵ at the end of the wedding feast the king gave a drinking party for the people of various nations who lived in the city. This was held for six days in the courtyard of the royal palace, ⁶ which was adorned with curtains of fine linen and cotton, held by cords of linen and purple fabric attached to gold and silver blocks on pillars of marble and other stones. Gold and silver couches were placed on a mosaic floor of emerald, mother-of-pearl, and marble. There were coverings of gauze, embroidered in various colors, with roses scattered around them.
