SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:4
Porque Mardoqueo era grande en la casa del rey, y su fama iba por todas las provincias; pues el varón Mardoqueo iba engrandeciéndose.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. For Mordecai was great in the king’s house , etc.] Not only over Esther’s affairs, but was one of the king’s counsellors, and was the chief minister of state: and his fame went out throughout all the provinces ; what a favourite he was of the king, as well as a relation of the queen, and how wise and just his administrations were: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater , was more and more in the king’s favour, and had offices of honour and trust heaped upon him, and increased both in wealth and power.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-19 - The enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them by the forme edict. If they had attempted nothing against the people of God, the would not themselves have suffered. The Jews, acting together strengthened one another. Let us learn to stand fast in one spirit, an with one mind, striving together against the enemies of our souls, wh endeavour to rob us of our faith, which is more precious than ou lives. The Jews, to the honour of their religion, showed contempt of wordly wealth, that they might make it appear they desired nothin except their own preservation. In every case the people of God shoul manifest humanity and disinterestedness, frequently refusing advantage which might lawfully be obtained. The Jews celebrated their festiva the day after they had finished their work. When we have received grea mercies from God, we ought to be speedy in making thankful returns to him.
