Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.
Queen Vashti also held a banquet for the women in the royal palace that belonged to King Ahasuerus.
This verse tells us that while the king was hosting his own feast, Queen Vashti was simultaneously holding a separate celebration for the women in the palace.
📚 Historical Context
This takes place during the reign of King Ahasuerus (likely Xerxes I) in the Persian Empire around 486-465 BC. In ancient Persian culture, it was customary for men and women to celebrate separately at royal events, with the queen often hosting the women while the king entertained the men. This verse sets up the dramatic events that follow when these two separate celebrations collide.
