1:16b

wronged not only the king: Memucan did not refer to the king as “you” although he was speaking directly to him. You need to decide whether you can do this or whether you need to say “you.” If you have a special way of addressing a chief, you need to consider if you should use it here. For example, the Contemporary English Version has:

Your Majesty, Queen Vashti has not only embarrassed you

princes: See note on 1:3b.
