The Banquet of King Ahasuerus

⁵ When those days were over, the king held a seven-day banquet in the courtyard of the garden of his^[b] palace for all the people who were present in Susa the capital, from the greatest to the least important. ⁶ There were curtains of white and blue linen tied with cords of fine linen and purple material^[c] to silver rings on^[d] marble columns. There were couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and other precious stones.
