The verse 11 is found in chapter 1 of Esther. Queen Vashti holds a separate banquet for the women, but refuses to appear before the king when summoned. Her refusal triggers a crisis of authority at court. The episode does not yet develop the conflict against the Jews, but establishes the theme of impulsive decisions by royal power that will have much greater consequences.
