Esther 1:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Beverages were served in an array of gold goblets,^(A) each with a different design. Royal wine flowed freely, according to the king’s bounty^{(B) 8} and no restraint was placed on the drinking. The king had ordered every wine steward in his household to serve as much as each person wanted. ⁹ Queen Vashti also gave a feast for the women of King Ahasuerus’s palace.
