Ezr 7:14

SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:14

y estaban junto a él, Carsena, y Setar, y Admata, y Tarsis, y Meres, y Marsena, y Memucán, siete príncipes de Persia y de Media que veían el rostro del rey, y se sentaban los primeros en el reino):

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Esther 1:14

Verse 14. And the next unto him-the seven
princes] Probably, the privy counsellors of the king. Which saw the king's face- were at all times admitted to the royal presence.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 14. And the next unto him , etc.] That sat next to the king, and was the
chief in dignity and authority under him: was Carshena ; and so everyone in their rank and order, as next mentioned: Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan ; who, according to the latter Targum, were of different countries; the first of Africa, the second of India, the third of Idumea, the fourth of Egypt, the fifth of Resen, ( Genesis 10:12) which is framed out of Marsena, who is dropped, and the last of Jerusalem, said to be Daniel; though the former Targum makes him to be Haman: the seven powers of Persia and Media ; which custom of having seven counsellors with the kings of Persia arose from the seven princes that slew Smerdis the pretender, and made Darius Hystaspis king, the father of Xerxes: which saw the king’s face ; were intimate and familiar with him, often in his presence; yea, might go into it when they pleased, without the ceremony of being introduced; which privilege the above persons reserved to themselves, when they placed Darius on the throne, as Herodotus relates f68 : and which sat the first in the kingdom ; next to the king, and were assisting to him in the administration of government, (see Ezra 7:14).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-22 - Ahasuerus's
feast ended in heaviness, by his own folly. Seasons of peculiar festivity often end in vexation. Superiors should be carefu not to command what may reasonably be disobeyed. But when wine is in men's reason departs from them. He that had rule over 127 provinces had no rule over his own spirit. But whether the passion or the polic of the king was served by this decree, God's providence made way for Esther to the crown, and defeated Haman's wicked project, even befor it had entered into his heart, and he arrived at his power. Let u rejoice that the Lord reigns, and will overrule the madness or folly of mankind to promote his own glory, and the safety and happiness of his people __________________________________________________________________
