📚 Historical Context
This follows the events of chapter 1 where Queen Vashti refused the king's command to appear before his guests, leading to her banishment from the royal position. King Ahasuerus (also known as Xerxes I) ruled the Persian Empire from 486-465 BC, and this incident likely occurred around 483 BC. The king's advisors had convinced him that Vashti's disobedience would encourage rebellion among wives throughout the empire.
