Meres, one of the seven Persian nobles who had special access to King Ahasuerus
Meres appears in Esther 1:14 as one of the seven princes of Persia and Media who "saw the king's face" and "sat first in the kingdom." These were the king's closest advisors with direct access to the monarch, forming an elite inner circle. When Queen Vashti refused to appear at the king's banquet, Ahasuerus consulted this group about the proper legal response. Their names (Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan) appear to be Persian, reflecting the historical setting. These nobles combined legal expertise with political authority, advising on matters touching royal honor and kingdom protocol.
