Esther 1:9, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Verse 9 sits inside the opening scene of Esther, where King Xerxes of Persia holds a lavish feast in Susa for his officials and then for all the people. In that culture, royal banquets for men and women were often held separately, so Vashti, the queen, hosts her own banquet for the women of the palace at the same time.
