Vashti refused to obey the king’s command, thinking that when he came to himself, he would commend her course of action. But the king had unwise advisers. They argued it would be a power given to woman that would be to her injury (Manuscript 29, 1911).{3BC 1139.5}

Vasti nægtede at adlyde kongens befaling, tænkte at når han kom til sig selv, ville han kommentere hendes handlemåde. Men kongen havde ukloge rådgiver. De stredes om at det ville være en kraft til kvinderne der ville være til hendes skade. (MS 29, 1911).
