ExplanationCommentary
Verse 1. Suffered. He began to repent. The Persians used to deliberate when warm with wine: but their decrees were not ratified till they had examined them again the next day. Herod. i. 133.—This was not the case here; the king divorced his wife without any delay. Calmet.—Septuagint intimate that he presently lost thoughts of her. “He no longer remembered Vasthi with any affection, reflecting what she had said, and how he had condemned her.” Bible.—But the Alex. copy agrees with the Hebrew Calmet.
