On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha and Abagtha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus, to bring Queen Vashti before the king with her royal crown, in order to show the peoples and the princes her beauty, for she was lovely to look at. But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command delivered by the eunuchs. At this the king became enraged, and his anger burned within him.

Remember not the former things, 

Job 28:28 (ESV): And he said to man, 

Job 23:4–6 (ESV): I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments. 5  I would know what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me. 6  Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, he would pay attention to me.

Ezra 3:11–13 (ESV): And all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised the Lord, because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. 12 But many of the priests and Levites and heads of fathers’ houses, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when they saw the foundation of this house being laid, though many shouted aloud for joy, 13 so that the people could not distinguish the sound of the joyful shout from the sound of the people’s weeping, for the people shouted with a great shout, and the sound was heard far away.

Ezra 2:62 (ESV): 62 These sought their registration among those enrolled in the genealogies, but they were not found there, and so they were excluded from the priesthood as unclean.

Ezra 1:1 (ESV): the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom.
