Esther 1:13 in Context — Esther 1

11 Que trajesen á la reina Vasthi delante del rey con la corona regia, para mostrar á los pueblos y á los príncipes su hermosura; porque era linda de aspecto.

12 Mas la reina Vasthi no quiso comparecer á la orden del rey, [enviada] por mano de los eunucos; y enojóse el rey muy mucho, y encendióse en él su ira.

13 Preguntó entonces el rey á los sabios que sabían los tiempos, (porque así era la costumbre del rey para con todos los que sabían la ley y el derecho;

14 Y estaban junto á él, Carsena, y Sethar, y Admatha, y Tharsis, y Meres, y Marsena, y Memucán, siete príncipes de Persia y de Media que veían la cara del rey, y se sentaban los primeros del reino:)

15 Qué se había de hacer según la ley con la reina Vasthi, por cuanto no había cumplido la orden del rey Assuero, [enviada] por mano de los eunucos.
