Esther 2:11 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 2:11

And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's
house
Being one of the court, and in an high post, as Aben Ezra thinks, he might walk there without being examined, and called to an account for it:

to know how Esther did;
to inquire of her health and prosperity, or peace, the word here used signifies, even all sorts of it:

and what should become of her;
or was done to her, whether she was well used, or as yet introduced to the king, how it fared with her, and what befell her.

Esther 2:11 In-Context

9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens [who were] meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids to the best [place] of the house of the women.

10 Esther had not showed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not show [it].

11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what would become of her.

12 Now when every maid's turn had come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [to wit], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odors, and with [other] things for the purifying of the women;)

13 Then thus came [every] maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women to the king's house.
