Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לְפָנָֽיו
in,presence_of,his
Face stands for the presence of a person, so this phrase means “in his presence.” The invitation was to come to the royal capital to attend a banquet where the king would be present in person. You could say, as UST does, that the king was present in person to host the feast. Or you could say as an alternative, “all of them came to Susa for the feast”
