Esther 1:14
“And the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, which saw the king’s face, and which sat the first in the kingdom;)”
KJV
Read in Esther 1Meaning
The verse names the elite circle whose access to the king gives their counsel unusual influence. Esther repeatedly shows that proximity to power can shape outcomes for people far beyond those present in the room.
