Esther 1:13 in Context — Esther 1

11 Que trouxessem à rainha Vasti com a coroa real diante do rei, para mostrar aos povos e aos príncipes sua beleza; pois ela tinha linda aparência.

12 Porém a rainha Vasti recusou vir à ordem do rei por meio dos eunucos; por isso o rei se enfureceu muito, e sua ira se acendeu nele.

13 Então o rei perguntou aos sábios que entendiam dos tempos (porque assim era o costume do rei para com todos os que sabiam a lei e o direito;

14 E os mais próximos dele eram Carsena, Setar, Adamata, Társis, Meres, Marsena, e Memucã, sete príncipes da Pérsia e da Média, que viam o rosto do rei, e se sentavam nas [posições] principais do reino)

15 O que se devia fazer segundo a lei com a rainha Vasti, por não ter cumprido a ordem do rei Assuero por meio dos eunucos.
