"that in those days, when the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,"
— Esther 1:2, World English Bible
“That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,”
“that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace, ”
“In those days, as King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne in Susa the citadel,”
“When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom.”
“That in those days, when King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,”
“That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,”
Now it happened in the days of Ahasuerus (this is Ahasuerus who reigned from India even to Ethiopia, over one hundred twenty-seven provinces),
that in those days, when the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,
in the third year of his reign, he made a feast for all his princes and his servants; the power of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him.
He displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his excellent majesty many days, even one hundred eighty days.
When these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Shushan the palace, both great and small, in the court of the garden of the king's palace.
