Vashti refused the king's command to appear before him and his guests because she did not want to be objectified and paraded as a trophy. Her refusal was an act of defiance against the patriarchal expectations of her time, asserting her dignity and autonomy. Additionally, her stand highlighted the broader themes of power and gender dynamics present in the story, ultimately leading to significant consequences for her and the kingdom.

Did vashti queen of Persia have children?

The record of ('Queen') Vashti is in the book of Esther. She was the King's first wife, or queen consort, or most prominent/leading wife, but was deposed for disobedience to her husband, the King. She was replaced by Esther, a Jewess. The book of Esther does not say that Vashti had any children by the King. As she had incited the King's disfavor and been dismissed from the household, whatever happened to her after that was not considered significant enough to include in the bible record.
