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.

Ester 4:4 In-Context

2 Pero como a nadie se le permit铆a entrar a palacio vestido de luto, solo pudo llegar hasta la puerta del rey.
3 En cada provincia adonde llegaban el edicto y la orden del rey, hab铆a gran duelo entre los jud铆os, con ayuno, llanto y lamentos. Muchos de ellos, vestidos de luto, se tend铆an sobre la ceniza.
4 Cuando las criadas y los eunucos de la reina Ester llegaron y le contaron lo que pasaba, ella se angusti贸 mucho y le envi贸 ropa a Mardoqueo para que se la pusiera en lugar de la ropa de luto; pero 茅l no la acept贸.
5 Entonces Ester mand贸 llamar a Hatac, uno de los eunucos del rey puesto al servicio de ella, y le orden贸 que averiguara qu茅 preocupaba a Mardoqueo y por qu茅 actuaba de esa manera.
6 As铆 que Hatac sali贸 a ver a Mardoqueo, que estaba en la plaza de la ciudad, frente a la puerta del rey.
