SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:11
Y cada día Mardoqueo se paseaba delante del patio de la casa de las mujeres, por saber la paz de Ester, y qué se hacía de ella.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women’s house , etc.] Being one of the court, and in an high post, as Aben Ezra thinks, he might walk there without being examined, and called to an account for it: to know how Esther did ; to inquire of her health and prosperity, or peace, the word here used signifies, even all sorts of it: and what should become of her ; or was done to her, whether she was well used, or as yet introduced to the king, how it fared with her, and what befell her.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-20 - We see to what absurd practices those came, who were destitute of Divine revelation, and what need there was of the gospel of Christ, to purify men from the lusts of the flesh, and to bring them back to the original institution of marriage. Esther was preferred as queen. Thos who suggest that Esther committed sin to come at this dignity, do no consider the custom of those times and countries. Every one that the king took was married to him, and was his wife, though of a lower rank But how low is human nature sunk, when such as these are the leadin pursuits and highest worldly happiness of men! Disappointment an vexation must follow; and he most wisely consults his enjoyment, eve in this present life, who most exactly obeys the precepts of the Divin law. But let us turn to consider the wise and merciful providence of God, carrying on his deep but holy designs in the midst of all this And let no change in our condition be a pretext for forgetting ou duties to parents, or the friends who have stood in their place.
