Esther 1:2
"That in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

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.
