Darby's French Translation

Esther 1:17

car cette affaire de la reine se répandra parmi toutes les femmes, de manière à rendre leurs maris méprisables à leurs yeux, en ce qu'elles diront que le roi Assuérus a commandé d'amener la reine Vasthi devant lui, et qu'elle n'est pas venue.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For this deed of the queen shall come abroad unto all women,.... It will soon be spread all over the king's dominions, and reach the ears of the wives of all his subjects, and become their general talk everywhere:

so that they shall despise their husbands in their eyes: make light of their authority, refuse subjection to them, slight their commands, and neglect to yield obedience to them, and so not give them the honour that is due unto them:

when it shall be reported, the King Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, and she came not; was disobedient to his commands, refused to go along with the chamberlains sent by the king to fetch her.
