Esther 1:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Under an hanging of white, green, and blue cloths, fastened with cords of fine linen and purple, in silver rings, and pillars of marble: the [a]beds were of gold and of silver upon a pavement of porphyry, and marble and alabaster, and blue color.
7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, and changed vessel after vessel, and royal wine in abundance, according to the [b]power of the king.
8 And the drinking was by an order, none might [c]compel: for so the king had appointed unto all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
