Ahasuerus is generally idendified as Xerxes
Imagine a six month party.
He invited all the officials and servants.
All to show off Ahasuerus’ wealth and power.
After the six month party, the king gives another one week party.
He showed off all the best goodies in the palace.
Drinking was optional
The queen had a party of her own, just for the women.
On the seventh day, after a six month long party, the king is a little tipsy
Now he is going to show off his favorite treasure, his queen.
The queen wasn’t too happy about being shown off like a trophy.
This aggravated the king.
His queen was showing him up in front of his officers.
Now, the king looks for advice.
He’s backed into a corner, so he looks for advice as to what he should do.
The queen has disobeyed him, how should he handle it?
The wise men are worried as well.
It’s not just the queen disobeying the king, she has set a precedent the other women will follow.
Why do you suppose the wives will despise their husbands?
(NKJV)
Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Could it be that the men of Persia do not treat there wives well and ruled them by force?
What do you think will happen when women throughout the kingdom learn that the queen refused her husband?
Here’s the deal king, punish the queen.
Remove her from her throne.
Put another in her place.
Assuming that someone would be more compliant with the kings wishes.
Make it a law, so it cannot be changed.
Then send the decree throughout the empire so everyone knows what happens when the queen disobeys’ her husband.
And by extension any woman disobeys her husband.
The idea pleased the king.
Does this surprise anyone?
The king gets a new queen.
He gets to reinforce his position as king.
And each man should be the master of his own house.
Women should obey their husbands under penalty of law.
