She had it all and threw it all away. But why? Why would a queen anger her husband to the point he stripped her of her title and chose another.
Not much details are given about Queen Vashti’s story. She was summoned by the king and she refused to adhere to his request. Subsequently, she was removed as queen and Esther was her replacement. But have you ever wondered why she didn’t come when the king asked for her.
Immediately I thought of reasons why.
- She could’ve been sick
- She might’ve just been rebelling against her husband because of his drunken behavior.
- She could have been flexing her own power by simply saying no.
Whatever her reason Vashti was bold in her decision and she never asked the king to forgive her actions for that day.
Vashti, this powerful queen had a voice and she used it to defy her husband’s request. Was Vashti’s actions bold or foolish?
