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.

2 Y vino hasta delante de la puerta del rey; porque no era lícito pasar adentro de la puerta del rey con vestido de cilicio
3 Y en cada provincia donde el mandamiento del rey y su ley llegaba, tenían los judíos grande luto, ayuno, lloro, y lamentación; cilicio y ceniza era la cama de muchos
4 Y vinieron las doncellas de Ester y sus eunucos, y se lo dijeron; y la reina tuvo gran dolor, y envió vestidos para hacer vestir a Mardoqueo, y hacerle quitar el cilicio de sobre él; mas él no los recibió
5 Entonces Ester llamó a Hatac, uno de los eunucos del rey, que él había puesto al servicio de ella, y lo mandó a Mardoqueo, para saber qué era aquello, y por qué
6 Salió, pues, Hatac a Mardoqueo, a la plaza de la ciudad que estaba delante de la puerta del rey
