Charles Ellicott Commentary Esther 1:7

"And they gave them drink in vessels of gold (the vessels being diverse one from another), and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king." — Esther 1:7 (ASV)

In vessels of gold. —This shows the immense treasures in the hand of the Persian king, when the whole population of Susa could be thus accommodated.

Royal wine. —Perhaps wine of Helbon (Ezekiel 27:18); the original seems to imply more than merely wine from the royal cellars: as the king was feasting his people, it could hardly have been otherwise.

State. —Literally, hand.
