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 (short): Was Queen Vashti Right to Disobey? |
Question (full): I have heard different takes on the story of Esther when it comes to the conduct of Queen Vashti. I can't decide what to think one way or the other. There may be other views than the two I present here - One Queen Vashti was wrong and should have obeyed her husband no matter what and "displayed her beauty" whatever that really means she was suppossed to do? Two Queen Vashti was right and was honoring God somehow by refusing to "display her beauty" whatever that really means because her beauty was not for public show but only for her husband the king? There are a lot of problems with either view as far as I am concerned and the answer would affect whether or not to obey one's husband no matter what - this goes into the area of obeying your husband no matter what being more important that doing what it right according to God, sort of. blessings abound, bowler |
