1 | Queen Vashti/women despising husbands | Esth 1:17 | Makarios | 98335 | ||
Greetings all, We know from reading the first 16 verses of this book that Queen Vashti refused to come at the King's command (v.12). How is it that the "deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes," ?? |

2 | Queen Vashti/women despising husbands | Esth 1:17 | mkm9 | 98388 | ||
HI makarios--please look at the context here--from vs. 1-16-we see the king selling his war and advertising all that he has to offer-culminating in his offer of Vashti-she refused to be used---in vs. 17 the men are expressing a fear that other women may do the same thing-culturally putting "fear " into Ahauseraus that he may not have their support--This one is all politics--and we know who is really in charge--in Him--mkm9 | ||||||

Yes, Mkm9! Good point! However, my question was more about why the women would despise their husbands rather than on Queen Vashti. But I do appreciate your answer. I find answering questions so much easier than asking them.. :-) Makarios |

Hi Makarios-Thx for reply--I think you are "worried " about the word--"despise"--in this context it means-"have no respect for" or will not obey--in that culture-a woman who was owned and would not "obey" was stoned--BUT--this was a queen--others would follow---THIS frightened these men---as it frightens many men today----Male and female created He them--"Let us create man in OUR image"-in HIM--Angel1--MKM9 | ||||||

Greetings Mkm9! Actually, I wasn't "worried" at all! :-) I just wanted to see what kind of responses I would get. Blessings to you, Makarios |

HiMakarios-Thx for reply-sorry for the word "worried"--I have such difficulty with this non verbal communication--no one can "hear" you--tone of voice-rhythm---no gestures or humanity--only thought like machines-you didn't mention your response to what was "said'-am I off base here?--in Him mkm9 | ||||||
