| is "his throne" OK for kise malkhuto? I've gone with "capital" for בִּירָה which I think reads neatly. (Would it be alright to translate Shushan as Susa, or is that too much of a leap?)

|And when these days were fulfilled (completed), the king gave, to all the people that were found in Shushan the capital, from the greatest to the least, a drinking party seven days long in the court of the garden of the king's palace.
Response: Shushan was not the captial, it was where the King lived in the summer when the captial got too hot.
