4 Quando as criadas de Ester e os oficiais responsáveis pelo harém lhe contaram o que se passava com Mardoqueu, ela ficou muito aflita e mandou-lhe roupas para que as vestisse e tirasse o pano de saco; mas ele não quis aceitá-las.

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 Foi até a porta do palácio real, mas não entrou, porque ninguém vestido de pano de saco tinha permissão de entrar.
3 Em cada província onde chegou o decreto com a ordem do rei, houve grande pranto entre os judeus, com jejum, choro e lamento. Muitos se deitavam em pano de saco e em cinza.
4 Quando as criadas de Ester e os oficiais responsáveis pelo harém lhe contaram o que se passava com Mardoqueu, ela ficou muito aflita e mandou-lhe roupas para que as vestisse e tirasse o pano de saco; mas ele não quis aceitá-las.
5 Então Ester convocou Hatá, um dos oficiais do rei, nomeado para ajudá-la, e deu-lhe ordens para descobrir o que estava perturbando Mardoqueu e por que ele estava agindo assim.
6 Hatá foi falar com Mardoqueu na praça da cidade, em frente da porta do palácio real.
