Session IX Day 3

Happy Friday!  We've come to the end of another week and the end of the first chapter of Esther.  I pray that God continues to reveal Himself to us as we study this powerful story.

ASSIGNMENT:


READ Esther 1:13-22
1.  What is the question posed by Xerxes?  (Note: in vs. 15 of the NIV, it is not clear who is speaking; however, in the NASB, it appears that it is Xerxes).
2.  According to Memucan's reply in vs. 16 who had been wronged by Vashti's refusal?
3.  Consider the problem and the solution described in this chapter.  What do you conclude regarding the moral and maturity level of those in power?
