Ester 2:22 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 2:22

And the thing was known to Mordecai
But by what means does not appear; the Jewish writers say F3, these two men were Tarsians, and spoke in the Tarsian language, which they thought Mordecai did not understand; but he, being skilled in languages, overheard them, and understood what they said; but, according to Josephus F4, it was discovered to him by Barnabazus, a servant of one of the chamberlains; the latter Targum says, it was showed unto him by the Holy Ghost:

who told it unto Esther, and Esther certified the king thereof in
Mordecai's name;
whose name she mentioned, partly as a voucher of the truth of what she reported, and partly to ingratiate Mordecai to the king, that he might be still yet more promoted in due time.

Ester 2:22 In-Context

20 Ester havia mantido segredo sobre seu povo e sobre a origem de sua família, conforme a ordem de Mardoqueu, pois continuava a seguir as instruções dele, como fazia quando ainda estava sob sua tutela.
21 Um dia, quando Mardoqueu estava sentado junto à porta do palácio real, Bigtã e Teres, dois dos oficiais do rei que guardavam a entrada, estavam indignados e conspiravam para assassinar o rei Xerxes.
22 Mardoqueu, porém, descobriu o plano e o contou à rainha Ester, que, por sua vez, passou a informação ao rei, em nome de Mardoqueu.
23 Depois de investigada a informação e descobrindo-se que era verdadeira, os dois oficiais foram enforcados. Tudo isso foi escrito nos registros históricos, na presença do rei.
