Book of Esther. (Esther 1:10 - 22)
". . .the king. . . commanded . . .to bring Vashti the queen before the King. . . But the queen Vashti refused to come at the King's command. . . therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. . .Then the King said to the wise men. . . What shall we do unto queen Vashti according to the law, because she hath not performed the commandment of the king. . .And Memucan answered. . . For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women, so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes, when it shall be reported. . . If it please the King, let there go a royal commandment from him. . . That Vashti came no more before the King Ahasuerus: and let the king give her royal estate to another that is better than she. And when the King's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his empire (for it is great,) all the wives shall give to their husbands honour, both to great and small. . .For he sent letters into all the king's provinces. . . that every man should bear rule in his own house. . ."
Did she do well to disobey a sinful command or did she sin by disobeying her husband/king's rightful command?
