She is known as the queen of Persia and the wife of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I). Her account is primarily found in the Book of Esther, where she is depicted as a woman of dignity and principle, refusing to appear before the king and his guests during a banquet, which leads to her removal as queen.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Vashti lived during the Persian Empire's height, under the rule of King Ahasuerus, traditionally identified with Xerxes I, who reigned from 486 to 465 BC. The Persian Empire was vast and diverse, and the royal court was a place of great opulence and strict protocol. Vashti's refusal to obey the king's command to display her beauty before the court is seen as a significant act of defiance against the norms of the time, which often viewed women as subjects to the whims of male authority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>queen of Pers.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Vashti (10).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">וַשְׁתִּי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> (= Persian (Zend) <i><em>vahista</em></i>, <em>best</em>, compare Justi<sup>Hdb. d.
