Esther 1:18

18. Ladies Princesses; those who were with their husbands at the court of Ahasuerus, or at Shushan, where they would at once ( this day) hear of Vashti’s deed, that is, both her act and words, and be emboldened to say to their lords what Vashti had said to the king.

Contempt and wrath Contempt on the part of wives for their husbands, and consequent wrath or anger (compare Esther 1:12) on the part of the affronted husbands. This verse should be rendered thus: And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media, who have heard of the word of the queen, say (like words) to all the princes of the king, and (there will be) enough contempt and wrath.
