Vashti  Deposed
The King’s advisers in proposing the decree deposing Queen Vashti, explained to him that the proposed decree would have the effect when it was made public, of ensuring that all the wives throughout the kingdom would honour and respect their husbands. And the recommendation pleased the king, and the princes, and the king made the decree as recommended to him. And he sent letters to all the kings of the provinces within his domain, and to every people in their language, stating that every man should bear rule in his own house, and that it should be published in the language of all the peoples.  And after the king’s wrath had abated, he began to think of Vashti, what she had done, and the decree made against her. And the king’s servants perceiving where the king’s thoughts were leading him, suggested that there be a search for fair young virgins for the king throughout his domain, that all fair young virgins be brought together in the king’s palace at Shushan and given unto the custody of Hege, the king’s chamberlain, and keeper of the women, and let them be given the things they need for purification and beautification; so that from among them may be chosen, one that pleased the king. And the king was in agreement with the proposal.
