Later when King Xerxes’ fury had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what he had decreed about her.

After these things, when the anger of King Ahasuerus had abated, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.

But after Xerxes’ anger had subsided, he began thinking about Vashti and what she had done and the decree he had made.

Some time later, when King Ahasuerus’s rage had cooled down, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what was decided against her.

So they did. And they used the pole Haman had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s anger calmed down.

The attendants told Queen Vashti what the king had ordered her to do. But she refused to come. So the king became very angry.It was the king’s practice to ask for advice about matters of law and fairness. So he spoke with the wise men who understood what was going on at that time.They were the men closest to the king. Their names were Karshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memukan. They were the seven nobles of Persia and Media. They were the king’s special advisers and the most important men in the kingdom.“ You know the law,” the king said.“ What should I do to Queen Vashti? She hasn’t obeyed my command. The officials told her what I ordered her to do, didn’t they?”Then Memukan gave a reply to the king and the nobles. He said,“ Queen Vashti has done what is wrong. But she didn’t do it only against you, King Xerxes. She did it also against all the nobles. And she did it against the people in all the territories you rule over.All the women will hear about what the queen has done. Then they won’t respect their husbands. They’ll say,‘ King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought to him. But she wouldn’t come.’Here is what will start today. The leading women in Persia and Media who have heard about the queen’s actions will act in the same way. They’ll disobey all your nobles, just as she disobeyed you. They won’t have any respect for their husbands. They won’t honor them.“ So if it pleases you, send out a royal order. Let it be written down in the laws of Persia and Media. Those laws can never be changed. Let the royal order say that Vashti can never see you again. Also let her position as queen be given to someone who is better than she is.And let your order be announced all through your entire kingdom. Then all women will have respect for their husbands, from the least important to the most important.”The king and his nobles were pleased with that advice. So he did what Memukan had suggested.

When the king heard this, he was very upset. He didn’t want Daniel to be harmed in any way. Until sunset, he did everything he could to save him.Then the men went as a group to King Darius. They said to him,“ Your Majesty, remember that no order or command you give can be changed. That’s what the law of the Medes and Persians requires.”So the king gave the order. Daniel was brought out and thrown into the lions’ den. The king said to him,“ You always serve your God faithfully. So may he save you!”A stone was brought and placed over the opening of the den. The king sealed it with his own special ring. He also sealed it with the rings of his nobles. Then nothing could be done to help Daniel.The king returned to his palace. He didn’t eat anything that night. He didn’t ask for anything to be brought to him for his enjoyment. And he couldn’t sleep.
