The verse 22 is found in chapter 1 of Esther. The removal of Vashti and the decree establishing that every man should rule his household close the first chapter. The decision is distributed throughout the empire through the official communication system. The contrast between the smallness of the original conflict and the magnitude of the response introduces a recurring feature of the narrative: court decrees produce unexpected consequences.
