The verse 7 is found in chapter 1 of Esther. After displaying his wealth before the officials, the king holds a banquet for all the inhabitants of Susa. The abundance of wine and the freedom granted to the guests reflect the opulence of the court. The setting prepares the contrast between the monarch's seemingly unlimited power and his later inability to control the consequences of his own decisions.
