Ester 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 1:10

On the seventh day
Of the feast, the last day of it, which the Rabbins, as Jarchi observes, say was the sabbath day, and so the Targum:

when the heart of the king was merry with wine;
when he was intoxicated with it, and knew not well what he said or did; and the discourse at table ran upon the beauty of women, as the latter Targum; when the king asserted there were no women so beautiful as those of Babylon, and, as a proof of it, ordered his queen to be brought in:

he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar,
and Carcas, the seven chamberlains, that served in the presence of
Ahasuerus the king;
or "eunuchs", as the word is sometimes rendered; and such persons were made use of in the eastern countries to, wait upon women, and so were proper to be sent on the king's errand to the queen.

10 DestituciĂłn de la reina Vasti
Al séptimo día de la fiesta, cuando el rey Jerjes estaba muy alegre a causa del vino, les ordenó a los siete eunucos que lo servían —Mehumán, Bizta, Harbona, Bigta, Abagta, Zetar y Carcas—
11 que le trajeran a la reina Vasti con la corona real en la cabeza. Quería que los nobles y los demás hombres contemplaran su belleza, porque era una mujer sumamente hermosa;
12 pero cuando le comunicaron la orden del rey a la reina Vasti, ella se negĂł a ir. Esa respuesta enfureciĂł al rey y lo hizo arder de enojo.
