Esther 1:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 But the Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s word, [a]which he had given in charge to the eunuchs: therefore the King was very angry, and his wrath kindled in him.
13 Then the King said to the wise men, [b]that knew the times (for so was the King’s manner towards all that knew the law and the judgment:
14 And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan the seven Princes of Persia, and Media, which saw the [c]King’s face, and sat the first in the kingdom.)
