Esther 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 2:2

Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him
Fearing that, if Vashti should be restored, vengeance would be taken on them; or however to remove the grief and melancholy of the king, they gave the following advice: let there be fair young virgins sought for the king;
that he might enjoy them, and choose one of them, the most agreeable to him, and put her in the room of Vashti.

Esther 2:2 In-Context

1 Later, even after the king's anger had cooled down, he kept thinking about what Vashti had done and about his proclamation against her.

2 So some of the king's advisers who were close to him suggested, "Why don't you make a search to find some beautiful young virgins?

3 You can appoint officials in every province of the empire and have them bring all these beautiful young women to your harem here in Susa, the capital city. Put them in the care of Hegai, the eunuch who is in charge of your women, and let them be given a beauty treatment.

4 Then take the young woman you like best and make her queen in Vashti's place." The king thought this was good advice, so he followed it.

5 There in Susa lived a Jew named Mordecai son of Jair; he was from the tribe of Benjamin and was a descendant of Kish and Shimei.
