Ester 2:9 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 2:9

And the maiden pleased him
Not the king, into whose presence she was not yet introduced, but the chamberlain; her beauty and her behaviour recommended her to him, and he concluded within himself that she was the person that of all would be acceptable to the king:

and she obtained kindness of him:
had favours shown others had not:

and he speedily gave her things for purification;
as oil, spices, &c. that she might be the sooner fitted to be had into the king's presence:

with such things as belonged to her;
food and drink from the king's table; the Targum interprets it gifts, as chains and royal apparel:

and seven maidens, which were given her, out of the king's house;
to wait upon her the seven days of the week, as the same Targum:

and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of
the women;
removed her and them to it, which was the most splendid, had large, airy, and pleasant rooms.

Ester 2:9 In-Context

7 Mardoqueu tinha uma prima chamada Hadassa, que havia sido criada por ele, por não ter pai nem mãe. Essa moça, também conhecida como Ester, era atraente e muito bonita, e Mardoqueu a havia tomado como filha quando o pai e a mãe dela morreram.
8 Quando a ordem e o decreto do rei foram proclamados, muitas moças foram trazidas à cidadela de Susã e colocadas sob os cuidados de Hegai. Ester também foi trazida ao palácio do rei e confiada a Hegai, encarregado do harém.
9 A moça o agradou e ele a favoreceu. Ele logo lhe providenciou tratamento de beleza e comida especial. Designou-lhe sete moças escolhidas do palácio do rei e transferiu-a, junto com suas jovens, para o melhor lugar do harém.
10 Ester não tinha revelado a que povo pertencia nem a origem da sua família, pois Mardoqueu a havia proibido de fazê-lo.
11 Diariamente ele caminhava de um lado para outro perto do pátio do harém para saber como Ester estava e o que lhe estava acontecendo.
