More about Xerxes the First


Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus who reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and seven and twenty provinces, when he sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; all the powerful of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him. So he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days. When those days were expired, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the palace, both unto great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.
