📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Esther, set during the reign of the Persian King Ahasuerus (likely Xerxes I) in the 5th century BC, the story unfolds in the opulent city of Susa, where the king hosted massive banquets to display his wealth and consolidate his rule. This specific feast in Esther 1:5 followed an initial 180-day celebration for his officials and was extended to include all people in the palace, from nobles to commoners, lasting seven days in the royal garden as a way to foster loyalty and showcase Persian grandeur. Such events reflected the cultural norms of ancient Near Eastern monarchies, where hospitality and excess were tools of political power.
