Esther 1:14 in Context — Esther 1
12 Mais la reine Vasthi refusa de venir, quand elle reçut par les eunuques l’ordre du roi. Et le roi fut très irrité, il fut enflammé de colère.
13 Alors le roi s’adressa aux sages qui avaient la connaissance des temps. Car ainsi se traitaient les affaires du roi, devant tous ceux qui connaissaient les lois et le droit.
14 Il avait auprès de lui Carschena, Schéthar, Admatha, Tarsis, Mérès, Marsena, Memucan, sept princes de Perse et de Médie, qui voyaient la face du roi et qui occupaient le premier rang dans le royaume.
15 Quelle loi, dit-il, faut-il appliquer à la reine Vasthi, pour n’avoir point exécuté ce que le roi Assuérus lui a ordonné par les eunuques?
16 Memucan répondit devant le roi et les princes: Ce n’est pas seulement à l’égard du roi que la reine Vasthi a mal agi; c’est aussi envers tous les princes et tous les peuples qui sont dans toutes les provinces du roi Assuérus.
