SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:20
Y el hecho que hará el rey será oído en todo su reino, aunque es grande, y todas las mujeres darán honra a sus maridos, desde el mayor hasta el menor.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And when the king’s decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire , etc.] As it was proper it should, since the report of the queen’s deed would be made everywhere: for it is great ; the empire consisting of one hundred and twenty seven provinces, ( Esther 1:1), Aben Ezra and Abendana interpret it, “though” it is great, yet the decree should be published throughout; the latter observes, that this may respect the king’s decree; and so the Targum is, “for his decree is great;” it respecting a matter of great importance, and relating to a great personage, and would have great effect on the minds of persons, when it was observed that one so great was treated in this manner: and therefore all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small ; speaking respectfully to them, yielding a ready and cheerful obedience to all their commands; which would be done to princes and peasants, to high and low, to every rank of men.
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 __________________________________________________________________
