Ja, redan i dag skola furstinnorna i Persien och Medien, när de få höra vad drottningen har gjort, åberopa detta inför alla konungens furstar, och därav skall komma förakt och förtret mer än nog.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

the ladies: Saroth, the princesses, but the meaning is well expressed by our term ladies. Judges 5:29, 1 Kings 11:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Likewise shall the ladies of Persia and Media say this day unto the king's princes, which have heard of the deed of the queen,.... From henceforward they will give a like answer to their husbands, when they lay their commands upon them, as Vashti has to the king; they will tell them to their faces they will not obey their orders:

thus shall there arise too much contempt and wrath; there will be in wives a general contempt of their husbands, which will cause discord and strife, quarrels, wrath and anger; contempt on one part, wrath on the other, and contention between both.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Translate it: “Likewise shall the princesses of Persia and Media, which have heard of the deed of the queen, say this day unto all the king’s princes.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 1:18. The ladies of Persia — שרות saroth, the princesses; but the meaning is very well expressed by our term ladies.
