Esther 1:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ There were no limits on the drinks; the king had given orders to the palace servants that everyone could have as much as they wanted.^[a]

⁹ Meanwhile, inside the royal palace Queen Vashti was giving a banquet for the women.

¹⁰ On the seventh day of his banquet the king was drinking and feeling happy, so he called in the seven eunuchs who were his personal servants, Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkas.
