Est 1:13 | MHM | STEP | v. 13-15 : Even though he was angry, the king did not act until he asked his advisors for advice. He had seven wise counselors who knew the law and understood how things should be done (Esther 1:13-14 ). He asked them, What shall we do to the queen Vashti according to the law? (Esther 1:15 ). This shows that even powerful people need advice, and it is important to follow the law, even when upset.
