Esther 1:12 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore was the king very wroth— His anger was the more immoderate because his blood was heated with wine, which made his passion too strong for his reason; otherwise he would not have thought it decent for the queen to have her beauty, which was very great, exposed in this unusual manner. See Bishop Patrick.

Esther 1:12
