ahasuerus <EZR4 -6> And in the reign of {Ahasuerus}, in the

beginning of his reign, wrote they [unto him] an accusation

against

the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

ahasuerus <EST1 -1> Now it came to pass in the days of

{Ahasuerus},

(this [is] Ahasuerus which reigned, from India even unto

Ethiopia,

[over] an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)

ahasuerus <EST1 -1> Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus,

(this [is] {Ahasuerus} which reigned, from India even unto

Ethiopia,

[over] an hundred and seven and twenty provinces:)

ahasuerus <EST1 -2> That] in those days, when the king

{Ahasuerus}

sat on the throne of his kingdom, which [was] in Shushan the

palace,

ahasuerus <EST1 -9> Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the

women

[in] the royal house which [belonged] to king {Ahasuerus}.

ahasuerus <EST1 -10> On the seventh day, when the heart of the

king

was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona,

Bigtha,

and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that

served

in the presence of {Ahasuerus} the king,

ahasuerus <EST1 -15> What shall we do unto the queen Vashti

according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment

of

the king {Ahasuerus} by the chamberlains?

ahasuerus <EST1 -16> And Memucan answered before the king and the

princes, Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only,

but

also to all the princes, and to all the people that [are] in all

the

provinces of the king {Ahasuerus}.

ahasuerus <EST1 -17> For [this] deed of the queen shall come

abroad

unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in

their

eyes, when it shall be reported, The king {Ahasuerus} commanded

Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she ca

me not.

ahasuerus <EST1 -19> If it please the king, let there go a royal

commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the

Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come

no

more before king {Ahasuerus}; and let the king give her

royal estate unto another that is better than she.

ahasuerus <EST2 -1> After these things, when the wrath of king

{Ahasuerus} was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had

done, and what was decreed against her.

ahasuerus <EST2 -12> Now when every maid's turn was come to go

in to

king {Ahasuerus}, after that she had been twelve months,

according

to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their

purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of

 myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with [other] things

for the purifying of the women;) a hasuerus <EST2 -16> So Esther

was

taken unto king {Ahasuerus} into his house royal in the tenth

month,

which [is] the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

ahasuerus <EST2 -21> In those days, while Mordecai sat in the

king's

gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of

those

which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the

king

{Ahasuerus}. ahasuerus <EST3 -1> After these things did king

{Ahasuerus} promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and

advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that [were]

with him. ahasuerus <EST3 -6> And he thought scorn to lay hands

on

Mordecai alone; for they had showed him the people of Mordecai:

wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that [were]

throughout the whole kingdom of {Ahasuerus}, [even] the people of

Mordecai.

ahasuerus <EST3 -7> In the first month, that [is], the month

Nisan,

in the twelfth year of king {Ahasuerus}, they cast Pur, that

[is],

the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month,

[to]

the twelfth [month], that [is], the month Adar.

ahasuerus <EST3 -8> And Haman said unto king {Ahasuerus}, There

is a

certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in

all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws [are] diverse

from

all people; neither keep they the king's laws: there

fore it [is] not for the king's profit to suffer them.

ahasuerus <EST3 -12> Then were the king's scribes called on the

thirteenth day of the first month, and there was written

according

to all that Haman had commanded unto the king's lieutenants, and

to

the governors that [were] over every province, and to th

e rulers of every people of every province according to the

writing

thereof, and [to] every people after their language; in the name

of

king {Ahasuerus} was it written, and sealed with the king's ring.

ahasuerus <EST6 -2> And it was found written, that Mordecai had

told

of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the

keepers

of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king {Ahasuerus}.

ahasuerus <EST7 -5> Then the king {Ahasuerus} answered and said

unto

Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume

in

his heart to do so?

ahasuerus <EST8 -1> On that day did the king {Ahasuerus} give the

house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And

Mordecai

came before the king; for Esther had told what he [was] unto her.

ahasuerus <EST8 -7> Then the king {Ahasuerus} said unto Esther

the

queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the

house

of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he

laid

his hand upon the Jews.

ahasuerus <EST8 -10> And he wrote in the king {Ahasuerus}' name,

and

sealed [it] with the king's ring, and sent letters by posts on

horseback, [and] riders on mules, camels, [and] young

dromedaries:

ahasuerus <EST8 -12> Upon one day in all the provinces of king

{Ahasuerus}, [namely], upon the thirteenth [day] of the twelfth

month, which [is] the month Adar.

ahasuerus <EST9 -2> The Jews gathered themselves together in

their

cities throughout all the provinces of the king {Ahasuerus}, to

lay

hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand

them;

for the fear of them fell upon all people.

ahasuerus <EST9 -20> And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent

letters unto all the Jews that [were] in all the provinces of the

king {Ahasuerus}, [both] nigh and far,

ahasuerus <EST9 -30> And he sent the letters unto all the Jews,

to

the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of

{Ahasuerus}, [with] words of peace and truth,

ahasuerus <EST10 -1> And the king {Ahasuerus} laid a tribute upon

the land, and [upon] the isles of the sea.

ahasuerus <EST10 -3> For Mordecai the Jew [was] next unto king

{Ahasuerus}, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the

multitude

of his brethren, seeking the wealth of his people, and speaking

peace to all his seed.

ahasuerus <DAN9 -1> In the first year of Darius the son of

{Ahasuerus}, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over

the

realm of the Chaldeans;
