NASB | Esther 1:17 "For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women causing them to look with contempt on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.' |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Esther 1:17 "For the queen's conduct will become known to all women, causing them to look on their husbands with contempt (disrespect), since they will say, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.' |
Bible Question:
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," ?? |
Bible Answer: 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 |
