King James Bible - Esther 1:17

SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:17

Porque este hecho de la reina pasará a noticia de todas las mujeres, para hacerles tener en poca estima a sus maridos, diciendo: El rey Asuero mandó traer delante de sí a la reina Vasti, y ella no vino.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women , etc.] It will soon be spread all over the king’s dominions, and reach the ears of the wives of all his subjects, and become their general talk everywhere: so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes : make light of their authority, refuse subjection to them, slight their commands, and neglect to yield obedience to them, and so not give them the honour that is due unto them: when it shall be reported, the King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, and she came not ; was disobedient to his commands, refused to go along with the chamberlains sent by the king to fetch her.

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 __________________________________________________________________
