Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Esther 1:1-22

Let us turn to the book of Esther for our study.The book of Esther is not in a chronological order in these books of history.

So the book of Esther fits about halfway between the rebuilding of the temple (the decree given... read more

Esther 1:1 . From India even to Ethiopia. Darius the Mede appointed one hundred and twenty governors.

Esther 1:11-12To bring Vashti the queen before the king.VanityWhatever be the ruling passion of a man, whether it be pride, vanity, or anger, or lust, or impiety, or even benevolence, it will display itself when he is inflamed by strong drink. Vanity was the ruling passion in the breast of the Persian monarch.

Est 1:10 On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, Ver. 10. On the seventh day ] Here we have Luxuriosi convivii luctuosum exitum, a sad end of a luxurious feast. Sin usually endeth tragically.

To bring Vashti the queen before the king ] This was their errand, and they went readily about it (though it beseemed not their state, as being chief about the king), whether they envied the queen, and so sought occasion against her (as the bishops did against Queen Catharine Parr), or were in the king’s predicament, and therefore... read more
