SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:11

que trajesen a la reina Vasti delante del rey con la corona del reino, para mostrar a los pueblos y a los príncipes su hermosura; porque era hermosa de parecer.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Esther 1:11

Verse 11. To bring Vashti the queen] The Targum adds naked.

For she was fair to look on.] Hence she had her name Vashti, which signifies beautiful. See ver. 9.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. To bring Vashti the queen before the king , etc.] Not against her will, or by force; but they were sent to let her know it was the king’s pleasure that she should come to him immediately: with the crown royal ; that is, upon her head, to make her look the more grand and majestic: to show the people and the princes her beauty ; for she was fair to look upon; which was not wisely done, neither was it comely nor safe.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-22 - Ahasuerus's feast ended in heaviness, by his own folly. Seasons of peculiar festivity often end in vexation. Superiors should be carefu not to command what may reasonably be disobeyed. But when wine is in men's reason departs from them. He that had rule over 127 provinces had no rule over his own spirit. But whether the passion or the polic of the king was served by this decree, God's providence made way for Esther to the crown, and defeated Haman's wicked project, even befor it had entered into his heart, and he arrived at his power. Let u rejoice that the Lord reigns, and will overrule the madness or folly of mankind to promote his own glory, and the safety and happiness of his people __________________________________________________________________
