Esther 1:10
"On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcass, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,"
Key Reflection
This verse sets the scene for a royal feast where King Ahasuerus is intoxicated and issues an unusual command, highlighting his temporary loss of reason and authority. The involvement of eunuchs in such a decree underscores the harem's role beyond mere servitude, suggesting their influence even in matters of the king’s erratic behavior.
