to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the royal crown, to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was beautiful.
Esther 1:11 · bible→bibleEsther 1:12

Esther 1:13 · bible→bibleEsther 1:16
Memucan answered before the king and the princes, "Vashti the queen has not done wrong to just the king, but also to all the princes, and to all the people who are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus.
Esther 1:16 · bible→bibleEsther 1:17

Esther 1:20 · bible→bibleEsther 1:21
This advice pleased the king and the princes, and the king did according to the word of Memucan:
Esther 1:21 · bible→bibleEsther 1:22
for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to its writing, and to every people in their language, that every man should rule his own house, speaking in the language of his own people.
Esther 1:22 · bible→bibleEsther 2:1
After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

Esther 2:17 · bible→bibleEsther 2:18
Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.
Esther 2:18 · bible→bibleEsther 2:21
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king's gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Ahasuerus.

Esther 3:2 · bible→bibleEsther 3:3
Then the king's servants, who were in the king's gate, said to Mordecai, "Why do you disobey the king's commandment?"
Esther 3:3 · bible→bibleEsther 3:4
Now it came to pass, when they spoke daily to him, and he didn't listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai's reason would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.
Esther 3:4 · bible→bibleEsther 3:6
But he scorned the thought of laying hands on Mordecai alone, for they had made known to him Mordecai's people. Therefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the Mordecai's people.
Esther 3:6 · bible→bibleEsther 3:7
In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, and chose the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
Esther 3:7 · bible→bibleEsther 3:8

The king said to Haman, "The silver is given to you, the people also, to do with them as it seems good to you."
Esther 3:11 · bible→bibleEsther 3:12
Then the king's scribes were called in on the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month; and all that Haman commanded was written to the king's satraps, and to the governors who were over every province, and to the princes of every people, to every pr…

Esther 3:13 · bible→bibleEsther 3:15
