Ester 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 2:9

And the maiden pleased him
Not the king, into whose presence she was not yet introduced, but the chamberlain; her beauty and her behaviour recommended her to him, and he concluded within himself that she was the person that of all would be acceptable to the king:

and she obtained kindness of him:
had favours shown others had not:

and he speedily gave her things for purification;
as oil, spices, &c. that she might be the sooner fitted to be had into the king's presence:

with such things as belonged to her;
food and drink from the king's table; the Targum interprets it gifts, as chains and royal apparel:

and seven maidens, which were given her, out of the king's house;
to wait upon her the seven days of the week, as the same Targum:

and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of
the women;
removed her and them to it, which was the most splendid, had large, airy, and pleasant rooms.

Ester 2:9 In-Context

7 Y 茅l estaba criando a Hadasa, es decir, Ester, hija de su t铆o, pues ella no ten铆a ni padre ni madre. La joven era de hermosa figura y de buen parecer, y cuando su padre y su madre murieron, Mardoqueo la tom贸 como hija suya.
8 Y sucedi贸 que cuando el mandato y el decreto del rey fueron o铆dos, muchas j贸venes fueron reunidas en la fortaleza de Susa bajo la custodia de Hegai; y Ester tambi茅n fue llevada al palacio del rey, bajo la custodia de Hegai, encargado de las mujeres.
9 La joven le agrad贸 y hall贸 favor delante de 茅l, por lo que se apresur贸 en proveerle cosm茅ticos y alimentos; le dio siete doncellas escogidas del palacio del rey, y la traslad贸 con sus doncellas al mejor lugar del har茅n.
10 Ester no dio a conocer ni su pueblo ni su parentela, porque Mardoqueo le hab铆a mandado que no los diera a conocer.
11 Y todos los d铆as Mardoqueo se paseaba delante del patio del har茅n para enterarse de c贸mo estaba Ester y qu茅 le suced铆a.
