Greek Esther 1:10

Listen to Greek Esther 1:10
10 On the seventh day, when wine had put the king in high spirits, the king gave an order to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbonah, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkass, the seven eunuchs who served King Artaxerxes personally.

Greek Esther 1:10 In-Context

8 The wine festival had no established rules, so the king ordered everyone serving wine in the palace to offer as much as each guest wanted.
9 At the same time, Queen Vashti also held a wine festival of her own for women in King Artaxerxes' palace.
10 On the seventh day, when wine had put the king in high spirits, the king gave an order to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbonah, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carkass, the seven eunuchs who served King Artaxerxes personally.
11 They were to bring Queen Vashti before him so that he could introduce her as queen and place the royal crown upon her head. She was gorgeous, and he wanted to show off her beauty to his important guests and to the general public.
12 But Queen Vashti refused to come with the eunuchs. The king was furious, boiling with anger.
