Ester 2:3-4

3 Que el rey nombre delegados en cada provincia para que reúnan a esas hermosas jóvenes en el harén real en la fortaleza de Susa. Hegai, el eunuco del rey a cargo del harén, se ocupará de que todas ellas reciban tratamientos de belleza.

4 Después, la joven que más agrade al rey será reina en lugar de Vasti». Al rey le pareció muy bueno ese consejo, así que decidió ponerlo en práctica.

Ester 2:3-4 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ESTHER 2

By the advice of the ministers of King Ahasuerus, fair virgins were sought for throughout his dominions, and brought to his chamberlain, the keeper of the women, among whom was Esther, a Jewish virgin, Es 2:1-8, who found favour with the chamberlain, and afterwards with the king, who made her queen instead of Vashti, and a feast on that account, Es 2:9-18. Mordecai, to whom Esther was related, and according to whose advice she acted, sitting in the king's gate, discovered a conspiracy against the king, which he now made known to Esther, Es 2:19-23.
