Adam Clarke, on Esth 1:5
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 1:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And when the days of the feast were expired, he invited all the people that were found in Susan, from the greatest to the least: and commanded a feast to be made seven days in the court of the garden, and of the wood, which was planted by the care and the hand of the king.”
On this verse:
“A feast unto all the people - The first was a feast for the nobles in general; this, for the people of the city at large. In the court of the garden - As the company was very numerous that was to be received, no apartments in the palace could be capable of containing them; therefore the court of the garden was chosen.”
