Ester 1:7 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 1:7

They gave them drink in vessels of gold, the vessels being
divers one from another
In the pattern and workmanship of them, though of the same metal, which diversity made the festival the more grand; earthen cups, with the Persians, were reckoned very mean; when a king would disgrace a man, he obliged him to use earthen cups F4. The Targum represents these vessels to be the golden vessels of the temple at Jerusalem Nebuchadnezzar carried away; which could not be, since they had been delivered by Cyrus to Zerubbabel, ( Ezra 1:7-10 ) ,

and royal wine in abundance, according to the state of the king;
such as the king was able to give, the best he had, and that in great plenty; the wine the kings of Persia used to drink, as Strabo F5 relates, was Chalybonian wine, or wine of Helbon, as it is called, ( Ezekiel 27:18 ) , (See Gill on Ezekiel 27:18), but by the wine of the kingdom, as it may be rendered, is meant wine of the country; the wine of Schiras is reckoned the best in Persia F6.

Ester 1:7 In-Context

5 Cuando todo termin贸, el rey ofreci贸 un banquete para todo el pueblo que se encontraba en la fortaleza de Susa, desde el m谩s importante hasta el m谩s insignificante. El banquete dur贸 siete d铆as y se realiz贸 en el patio del jard铆n del palacio.
6 El patio estaba elegantemente decorado con cortinas de algod贸n blanco y colgantes azules, sostenidos con cuerdas de lino y cintas de color p煤rpura que pasaban por anillos de plata incrustados en columnas de m谩rmol. Hab铆a divanes de oro y de plata sobre un piso de mosaicos de cuarzo,
m谩rmol, n谩car y otras piedras costosas.
7 Las bebidas se serv铆an en copas de oro de distintos dise帽os, y hab铆a vino real en abundancia, lo cual reflejaba la generosidad del rey.
8 Por decreto del rey, no hab铆a l铆mite de consumo, porque el rey hab铆a dado instrucciones a todos los empleados del palacio de que sirvieran a cada hombre cuanto quisiera.
9 Al mismo tiempo, la reina Vasti hizo un banquete para las mujeres en el palacio real del rey Jerjes.
