Esther 1:10

Queen Vashti is Removed from Her Royal Position

1:10 On the seventh day, as King Ahasuerus was feeling the effects of the wine, ¹  he ordered Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who attended him, ² 

Isaiah 56:3

56:3 No foreigner who becomes a follower of ³  the Lord should say,

‘The Lord will certainly ⁴  exclude me from his people.’

The eunuch should not say,

‘Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”

[1:10]  ¹ tn Heb “as the heart of the king was good with the wine.” Here the proper name (King Ahasuerus) has been substituted for the title in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[1:10]  ² tn Heb “King Ahasuerus”; here the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun “him” in the translation for stylistic reasons. Cf. similarly NIV, NCV, CEV, NLT “King Xerxes.”

[56:3]  ³ tn Heb “who attaches himself to.”

[56:3]  ⁴ tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb for emphasis.
