To be considered for the position of queen, Vashti (circa 475 B.C.) must have been a member of one of the powerful and aristocratic families in the Persian empire. She was probably designated from birth as being a suitable wife for the emperor Ahasuerus, so she grew up very sure of her own status and was trained as a possible future queen.
It may sound glamorous, but the harem of an ancient Middle Eastern king was a dangerous place to live.There were hundreds of other wives, all hungry for power and the king’s favour. What is more, Ahasuerus’ court seems to have been riven by power struggles, and it was one of those that led to her disgrace. At some stage in his reign Ahasuerus held ...

“Queen Vashti refused to come before King Ahasuerus, whereupon he flew into a rage.” (Esther 1:12) The trap has closed around Vashti with terrible finality: If Vashti obeys the summons, the rightful queen will become a laughingstock to every man and woman in Persia. If she refuses, the king can spin her naysaying into a crime of treason.
