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: âLikewise shall the princesses of Persia and Media, which have heard of the deed of the queen, say this day unto all the kingâs princes.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Esther 1:18. The ladies of Persia — שר×ת saroth, the princesses; but the meaning is very well expressed by our term ladies.
