Commentary on Esther 1:9

Theological / Devotional

Vashti the queen. The only wife of Xerxes of whom the Greeks made record was Amestris. Xerxes had married her before ascending the throne, when he became of marriageable age. Herodotus and Ctesias speak of her cruelty and dissolute ways. However it cannot be proved that Amestris and Vashti were the same person. Like Esther (see eh. 2:7), the queen may have been known by more than one name.
