Ester 2:19 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 2:19

And when the virgins were gathered together the second time,
&c.] Some think this second collection is that which was made when Esther was taken and brought to the keeper of the women, called the second, in reference to a former collection of them, made when Vashti was taken and made queen; but as there is no proof of any such collection then made, rather the case was this, such was the lust of the king, though he had a queen he loved, and a multitude of concubine's, yet a second collection of virgins was made for his gratification:

then Mordecai sat in the king's gate;
or court, being an officer in it, promoted by the interest of Esther, though not as yet known to be a relation of her's: so (yura) in Xenophon F26 is used of the court of the king of Persia, as the Ottoman or Turkish court is now called the "Porte".

Ester 2:19 In-Context

17 Y el rey amó a Ester sobre todas las mujeres, y halló gracia y misericordia delante de él más que todas las vírgenes; y puso la corona del reino en su cabeza, y la hizo reina en lugar de Vasti
18 Hizo luego el rey un gran banquete a todos sus prĂ­ncipes y siervos, el banquete de Ester; y reposĂł a las provincias de sus impuestos, e hizo y dio mercedes conforme a la facultad real
19 Y cuando eran juntadas las vĂ­rgenes la segunda vez, Mardoqueo estaba sentado a la puerta del rey
20 Y Ester, según le tenía mandado Mardoqueo, no había declarado su nacimiento ni su pueblo; porque Ester hacía lo que decía Mardoqueo, como cuando estaba en crianza con él
21 En aquellos días, estando Mardoqueo sentado a la puerta del rey, se enojaron Bigtán y Teres, dos eunucos del rey, de la guardia de la puerta, y procuraban poner mano en el rey Asuero
