Esther 1:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command conveyed by the eunuchs. Therefore the king was enraged, and his anger burned within him.

¹³ Then the king spoke to the wise men who knew the times—for this was the king’s procedure toward all who were familiar with law and judgment—

¹⁴ Those next to him being Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who were in the king’s presence and held first place in the kingdom.
