Esther 1:15
“What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?”
KJV
Read in Esther 1Meaning
Ahasuerus frames the incident as a legal question rather than a private disagreement. This move opens the way for the court to produce a formal response with consequences much larger than the original act of refusal.
