John Gill · 1697–1771
Esth 1:2 · Douay-Rheims
“When he sat on the throne of his kingdom, the city Susan was the capital of his kingdom.”
On this verse:
“That in those days, when the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom,.... Not only was placed upon it, but settled in it; after Xerxes had subdued Egypt, in the second year of his reign (e), and enjoyed great peace and tranquillity: which was in Shushan the palace; that is, the throne of his kingdom was in Shushan, the royal city of the kings of Persia; of which see Gill on Neh 1:1, Dan 8:2. (e) Herodot. ib. (Thalia, sive, l. 3.) c. 7.”
