Ester 6:2 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:2

And it was found written
Upon reading, and in which there was also a peculiar hand of Providence, directing to the reading of that part of them in which the affair of Mordecai was registered: and if what the latter Targum says is true, it was the more remarkable, that when Shimshai the scribe, who was ordered to bring the book and read, and who, according to the former Targum, was Haman's son, seeing what was recorded of Mordecai, turned over the leaves of the book, being unwilling to read it; but the leaves rolled back again, and he was obliged to read it:

that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's
chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on
the King Ahasuerus;
see ( Esther 2:21 ) , and it was usual in such diaries to record the names of persons, who, by any actions, had deserved well of the king, that they might be rewarded as there was an opportunity for it; and such, in the Persian language, were called Orosangae, as Herodotus relates ^F15.

Ester 6:2 In-Context

1 El rey honra a Mardoqueo
Esa noche el rey no podía dormir, entonces ordenó a un asistente que le trajera el libro de la historia de su reino para que se lo leyeran.

2 En los registros descubrió el relato de cuando Mardoqueo informó del complot que Bigtana y Teres, dos de los eunucos que cuidaban la puerta de las habitaciones privadas del rey, habían tramado para asesinar al rey Jerjes.

3 —¿Qué recompensa o reconocimiento le dimos a Mardoqueo por este acto? —preguntó el rey.
Sus asistentes contestaron:
—Nunca se ha hecho nada.

4 —¿Quién está en el patio exterior? —preguntó el rey.
Resulta que Amán acababa de llegar al patio exterior del palacio para pedirle al rey que atravesara a Mardoqueo en el poste que había preparado.

5 Entonces los asistentes contestaron al rey:
—Es Amán el que está en el patio.
—Háganlo pasar —ordenó el rey.
