Ester 2:3-4

3 y ponga el rey personas en todas las provincias de su reino, que junte todas las jóvenes vírgenes de buen parecer en Susa la capital del reino, en la casa de las mujeres, al cuidado de Hegai, eunuco del rey, guarda de las mujeres, dándoles lo que necesitan para su purificación;

4 y la doncella que agradare a los ojos del rey, reine en lugar de Vasti. Y la cosa agradó en ojos del rey, y lo hizo así.

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.
