📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Esther, which is set during the reign of the Persian king Ahasuerus (likely Xerxes I) in the 5th century BC, the story begins with the king hosting a massive banquet to display his wealth and power. This verse mentions the seven princes as his closest advisors who had direct access to the king and held the highest positions in the empire, reflecting the hierarchical structure of Persian government where such officials provided counsel on matters of state. This advisory system was common in ancient Near Eastern cultures, emphasizing the king's dependence on trusted nobles for decisions that affected the realm.
