On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The devil is the accuser of the brethren ( Rev. xii. 10 ), and he carries on his malicious designs against them, not only by accusing them himself before God, as he did Job, but by acting as a lying spirit in the mouths of his instruments, whom he employs to accuse them before magistrates and kings and to make them odious to the many and obnoxious to the mighty.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they . . . an accusation--Ahasuerus was a regal title, and the king referred to was successor of Darius, the famous Xerxes.
