Esther 1:13-2:4
Then Memukan replied in the presence of the king and the nobles, “Queen Vashti has done wrong, not only against the king but also against all the nobles and the peoples of all the provinces of King Xerxes. For the queen’s conduct will become known to all the women, and so they will despise their husbands and say, ‘King Xerxes commanded Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she would not come.’ This very day the Persian and Median women of the nobility who have heard about the queen’s conduct will respond to all the king’s nobles in the same way. There will be no end of disrespect and discord.
Therefore, if it pleases the king, let him issue a royal decree and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Xerxes. Also let the king give her royal position to someone else who is better than she.
Later when King Xerxes’ fury had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what he had decreed about her. Then the king’s personal attendants proposed, “Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king.
In 483 he gives a huge feast, the climax to a six-month display of his wealth and power. But his queen refuses to play along with his wish to make her part of the exhibition. And on the advice of his astrologers, the king deposes her.
Why?
There was not right to the women at that time, even the queen has no right to refuse the king. So to be a right man's wife need wisdom and courage.
King consults experts or nobles to give opinions is protect the position and their own position, so it is always not the correct way but it is the benefit to them.
King Xeres loved his queen when he subsided, but his nobles and leader recommended he search for a new girl for him. To replace the queen's position. Maybe the queen does not welcome by this nobless.

我們在家裏都是最真實的,即使在外面是待人接物都很好。
人在外面可以統管一切,但是往往無力管自己的家人。
這種命令會讓妻子會真尊敬自己的先生嗎?人不能被強迫,規定尊敬另外一個人,如果有一定也是表面的。丈夫和妻子間的問題,丈夫要面子,妻子要被呵護。這事不也每天發生在家庭中。王廢王后,似乎正常,特別立法也是很奇怪的事。基督先愛教會,即使教會還不好的時候。丈夫要先愛妻子。王后失去王位、王也沒有得到王后尊重,兩者皆輸。夫妻關係正是人與關係的縮影。你們要人如何待你,你要先如何待人。
神使用這個兩者的惡事:王的愛面子,王后的不給面子,成就了巧妙,成就美事。

How?
People like to protect his face, the honor, to proclaim his honor. To be God's followers we have to be humble and learn the Jesus even devoted his life to save us, and Jesus got the honor to the highest.
