Esther 1:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 Upon the [a]seventh day when the King was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs, (that served in the presence of king Ahasuerus)
11 To bring Queen Vashti before the king with the crown royal, that he might show the people and the princes her beauty: for she was fair to look upon.
12 But the Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s word, [b]which he had given in charge to the eunuchs: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him.
