📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from the story of Queen Vashti's refusal to appear before King Xerxes and his guests at a royal banquet. In ancient Persian culture, women were expected to be completely obedient to their husbands, especially in royal households. The king's advisors feared that if news spread of the queen's disobedience without consequences, it would encourage wives throughout the empire to defy their husbands' authority.
