Esther 1:9-12 NIV

[9] Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Xerxes. [10] On the seventh day, when King Xerxes was in high spirits from wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs who served him—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Karkas— [11] to bring before him Queen Vashti, wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and nobles, for she was lovely to look at. [12] But when the attendants delivered the king’s command, Queen Vashti refused to come. Then the king became furious and burned with anger.
