11 to bring Queen Vashti before him, wearing her royal crown, to display her beauty to the people and officials. For she was beautiful to behold.
When we read this story of Queen Vashti, there are some interesting and unusual things that we read. For example there were seven eunuchs in this story and the names of all 7 of them were listed. Why are we given that information?
The main point of the story is that Queen Vashti refused to appear. The King then had her killed. I guess they did not have divorce back then. That was when he hooked up with the women that was to become Queen Esther, who went on to save her people.
The conservative "Jewish" people believe the story of Esther is an archetype of the story of Eve. Only Esther made all the right choices. Also they believe that the King asked Vashti to present herself before all of these drunk people naked.
Naked is a big part of the story of Adam and Eve. I really do not see anything in the story of Queen Vashti where the king wanted her to show up naked to display her before his guests. Does anyone see any indication of that in her story in the Bible?
