Bible Question:
Was Queen Vashti justified in her refusal? Was this a request for her to do something that would violate her dignity? |
Bible Answer: Vashti (beautiful), the “queen” of Ahasuerus, who, for refusing to show herself to the king’s guests at the royal banquet, when sent for by the king, was repudiated and deposed. Esther 1. (b.c. 483.) Many attempts have been made to identify her with historical personages; but it is far more probable that she was only one of the inferior wives, dignified with the title of queen, whose name has utterly disappeared from history.Esther 1:12 12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s commandment by his chamberlains: therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. There seems to be no indication she was justified, possibly they were all drunk and expected the women to cater to their whims. The King James Version, (Cambridge: Cambridge) 1769.
