Ester 4:4 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 4:4

So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her,
&c.] Her maids of honour and eunuchs that attended her, which they might tell her merely as a piece of news, there being something shocking in it to tender minds; or perhaps nothing more than that Mordecai was in sackcloth; and they might have observed, by some incident or another, that there was some connection between Mordecai and Esther, and that she had a peculiar respect for him:

then was the queen exceedingly grieved;
even though she might not know the whole of the matter; but perceiving whatever it was it greatly affected Mordecai, with whom she sympathized:

and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth
from him;
that so he might appear at court, and she get better intelligence of the cause of all this:

but he received it not;
refusing to be comforted, or appear cheerful under such melancholy circumstances.

Ester 4:4 In-Context

2 Y lleg贸 hasta la puerta del rey, porque nadie pod铆a entrar por la puerta del rey vestido de cilicio.
3 Y en cada una de las provincias y en todo lugar donde llegaba la orden del rey y su decreto, hab铆a entre los jud铆os gran duelo y ayuno, llanto y lamento; y muchos se acostaban sobre cilicio y ceniza.
4 Vinieron las doncellas de Ester y sus eunucos y se lo comunicaron, y la reina se angusti贸 en gran manera. Y envi贸 ropa para que Mardoqueo se vistiera y se quitara el cilicio de encima, pero 茅l no la acept贸.
5 Entonces Ester llam贸 a Hatac, uno de los eunucos que el rey hab铆a puesto a su servicio, y le orden贸 ir a Mardoqueo para saber qu茅 era aquello y por qu茅.
6 Y sali贸 Hatac a donde estaba Mardoqueo en la plaza de la ciudad, frente a la puerta del rey.
