12 But when the attendants delivered the king’s command, Queen Vashti refused to come. Then the king became furious and burned with anger.(A)
13 Since it was customary for the king to consult experts in matters of law and justice, he spoke with the wise men who understood the times(B) 14 and were closest to the king—Karshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memukan, the seven nobles(C) of Persia and Media who had special access to the king and were highest in the kingdom.
