Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 1:6

6 Where were white, green, and blue hangings fastened with cords of fine linnen and purple, to silver rings, and pillars of marble: the beds were of gold, and silver, upon a pavement of red, and blue, and white, and black marble.

For in those Eastern Countries, and ancient times, they did not sit at Tables, as we do, but rested or leaned upon Beds: of which we have many testimonies both in Scripture, as Esth. 7. 8. Amos 2. 8. & 6. 4. Ioh. 13. 23. and in all other Authors.
