Esther 1:8

And this banquet was not according to the appointed law; but so the king would have it: and he charged the stewards to perform his will and that of the company.

And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel: for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.

In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had instructed all the officials of his house, that they should do according to every man’s pleasure.
