Esther 1:19-21
New International Version
19 “Therefore, if it pleases the king,(A) let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed,(B) that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she. 20 Then when the king’s edict is proclaimed throughout all his vast realm, all the women will respect their husbands, from the least to the greatest.”
21 The king and his nobles were pleased with this advice, so the king did as Memukan proposed.
