เมมูคานจึงทูลต่อพระพักตร์กษัตริย์และเจ้านายทั้งปวงว่า "พระราชินีวัชทีได้ทรงกระทำผิดมิใช่ต่อกษัตริย์เท่านั้น แต่ต่อเจ้านายทั้งปวงและประชาชนทั้งปวงผู้อยู่ในมณฑลทั้งสิ้นของกษัตริย์อาหสุเอรัส

Vashti: This reasoning was inconsequent and false. Vashti had not generally disobeyed the king, therefore she could be no precedent for the general conduct of the Persian women. She disobeyed only in one particular; and this, to serve a purpose, Memucan draws into a general consequence, and the rest came into the conclusion, being either too intoxicated to be able to discern right from wrong, or too intent on reducing women to a state of vassalage, to neglect the present favourable opportunity.

done wrong: Acts 18:14, Acts 25:10, 1 Corinthians 6:7, 1 Corinthians 6:8

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 12:14 - the counsel Ephesians 5:22 - submit 1 Peter 3:1 - ye

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Memucan answered before the king and the princes,.... Who was the last, and perhaps the least and the youngest of the counsellors; it being appointed by the king, according to the latter Targum that when his counsellors sat, the least should give their counsel first; just as puisne judges, and the youngest peers with us, give their opinion in a case first:

Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the people that are in all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus; he means, by setting a bad example to their wives, as after explained; it is an exaggeration of her crime, and made with a design to incense the king the more against her.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 16. Vashti - hath not done wrong to the king only — This reasoning or arguing was inconsequent and false. Vashti had not generally disobeyed the king, therefore she could be no precedent for the general conduct of the Persian women. She disobeyed only in one particular; and this, to serve a purpose, Memucan draws into a general consequence; and the rest came to the conclusion which he drew, being either too drunk to be able to discern right from wrong, or too intent on reducing the women to a state of vassalage, to neglect the present favourable opportunity.
