So they impaled Haman on the pole he had set up for Mordecai, and the king’s anger subsided.

But when they conveyed the king’s order to Queen Vashti, she refused to come. This made the king furious, and he burned with anger.He immediately consulted with his wise advisers, who knew all the Persian laws and customs, for he always asked their advice.The names of these men were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan— seven nobles of Persia and Media. They met with the king regularly and held the highest positions in the empire.“ What must be done to Queen Vashti?” the king demanded.“ What penalty does the law provide for a queen who refuses to obey the king’s orders, properly sent through his eunuchs?”Memucan answered the king and his nobles,“ Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also every noble and citizen throughout your empire.Women everywhere will begin to despise their husbands when they learn that Queen Vashti has refused to appear before the king.Before this day is out, the wives of all the king’s nobles throughout Persia and Media will hear what the queen did and will start treating their husbands the same way. There will be no end to their contempt and anger.“ So if it please the king, we suggest that you issue a written decree, a law of the Persians and Medes that cannot be revoked. It should order that Queen Vashti be forever banished from the presence of King Xerxes, and that the king should choose another queen more worthy than she.When this decree is published throughout the king’s vast empire, husbands everywhere, whatever their rank, will receive proper respect from their wives!”The king and his nobles thought this made good sense, so he followed Memucan’s counsel.

Hearing this, the king was deeply troubled, and he tried to think of a way to save Daniel. He spent the rest of the day looking for a way to get Daniel out of this predicament.In the evening the men went together to the king and said,“ Your Majesty, you know that according to the law of the Medes and the Persians, no law that the king signs can be changed.”So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him,“ May your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.”A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den. The king sealed the stone with his own royal seal and the seals of his nobles, so that no one could rescue Daniel.Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. He refused his usual entertainment and couldn’t sleep at all that night.
