Gill's Notes on the Bible

To bring Vashti the queen before the king,.... Not against her will, or by force; but they were sent to let her know it was the king's pleasure that she should come to him immediately:

with the crown royal; that is, upon her head, to make her look the more grand and majestic:

to show the people and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look upon; which was not wisely done, neither was it comely nor safe.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To bring Vashti the queen - This command, though contrary to Persian customs, is not out of harmony with the character of Xerxes; and is evidently related as something strange and unusual. Otherwise, the queen would not have refused to come.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 11. To bring Vashti the queen — The Targum adds naked.

For she was fair to look on. — Hence she had her name [Persian] Vashti, which signifies beautiful. See Esther 1:9.
