Hi Gals,
SOOOOOO sorry it has taken me so long to post these questions. Christmas is a busy time at the church and it's my first year on the job - hey no excuses! I'll be better.
Review in your mind for a few minutes what Vashti was asked to do & how that may have made her feel. Remember our discussion of how you might feel in that situation.
Read 1:9-22 over a few times.
What was Vashti doing when she was summoned by the king?
What was the king doing when he decided to summon Vashti?
What is a eunuch? (look it up in a dictionary)
How many eunuchs were there? Why so many?
What was Xerxes response to Esther's refusal to appear?
Who did Xerxes consult?
What was their biggest complaint about the Queen's actions?
What does this tell you about this society and men and women in it?
What was their solution to the problem? Detail it out - hint 5 parts.
God Bless gals! What time can you come down to the church on Wednesday? Let me know.
