Compelling, forcing; participle describing one who forces or constrains others, negated in Esther 1:8 to mean 'no compulsion'
This verb means to compel, constrain, or force someone to act against their will. In Esther 1:8, it appears in the negative: 'there was no compulsion' at King Ahasuerus's banquet—guests could drink as much or as little as they wished. The term indicates coercion or forcing someone into action. The absence of such compulsion at the royal feast shows unusual royal generosity and respect for guests' preferences, contrary to typical ancient Near Eastern royal banquet protocol.

1. sense 1 — Esther 1:8 uses this participle negatively to indicate drinking at the royal banquet was voluntary: 'there was no one compelling.' Spanish 'obligación' (obligation/compulsion) captures the sense. The king commanded that guests be allowed to drink according to their own wish, without forced conformity to royal drinking customs. This detail characterizes Ahasuerus's banquet as remarkably permissive, with guests free from the usual social compulsion to match the king's consumption. 1×
