Ester 1:2 In-Context

1 Al tempo d’Assuero, di quell’Assuero che regnava dall’India sino all’Etiopia sopra centoventisette province,
2 in quel tempo, dico, il re Assuero, che sedeva sul trono del suo regno a Susa, la residenza reale,
3 l’anno terzo del suo regno, fece un convito a tutti i suoi principi e ai suoi servi; l’esercito di Persia e di Media, i nobili e i governatori delle province furono riuniti in sua presenza,
4 ed egli mostrò le ricchezze e la gloria del suo regno e il fasto magnifico della sua grandezza per molti giorni, per centottanta giorni.
5 Scorsi che furon questi giorni, il re fece un altro convito di sette giorni, nel cortile del giardino del palazzo reale, per tutto il popolo che si trovava a Susa, la residenza reale dal più grande al più piccolo.
