에스더 6:2-3 KRV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Esther 6:3

It was a settled principle of the Persian government that “Royal Benefactors” were to receive an adequate reward. The names of such persons were placed on a special roll, and care was taken that they should be properly recompensed, though they sometimes waited for months or years before they were rewarded. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Esther 6:3-4

Esther 6:3-4. There is nothing done for him He hath had no recompense for this great and good service. The king said, Who is in the court It is likely it was now morning, when the courtiers used to be in waiting; and the king is so impatient to have Mordecai honoured, that he sends to know who was come, that was fit to be employed in the business. Now Haman was come Early in the morning, because his malice would not suffer him to sleep; and he was impatient till he had executed his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Esther 6:1-14

Haman’s humiliation and defeat (5:1-7:10)After three days Esther approached the king and invited him and Haman to dinner (5:1-4). She was so pleased with their friendly response that she decided to invite them again the next day, in the hope that they would be even more favourable to her (5-8). Haman thought that the honour given him by the queen showed that she, as well as the king, was pleased with him and agreed with his anti-Jewish policy. He decided to take the opportunity of this royal... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Esther 6:1-3

Ahasuerus’ insomnia 6:1-3The reading of the equivalent of the Congressional Record would have put the king to sleep under normal circumstances, as it probably had done on many previous occasions (cf. Malachi 3:16)."Here is a remarkable instance of the veiled providential control of God over circumstances of human history. Upon the king’s insomnia, humanly speaking, were hinged the survival of the chosen nation, the fulfillment of prophecy, the coming of the Redeemer, and therefore the whole... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Esther 6:1-14

2. Mordecai’s exaltation ch. 6Mordecai’s exaltation was a secondary event that prepared for the utter destruction of Haman. There are at least five indications of God’s providence in the first five verses of this chapter: the king’s insomnia (Esther 6:1 a), his choice of entertainment (Esther 6:1 b), the servant’s choice of books (Esther 6:1 c), the king’s delay in rewarding Mordecai (Esther 6:2-3), and the timely arrival of Haman (Esther 6:4-5).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Esther 6:3

(3) What honour and dignity hath been done.—The names of those who were thought worthy of being accounted “royal benefactors” were enrolled on a special list, and they were supposed to be suitably rewarded, though not necessarily at the time. The reward however was. in theory at any rate, a thing to which the “benefactor” had a distinct claim, and an almost legal right. read more

An Ever-watchful Providence Esther 6:1 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,' and it is small wonder that the master of one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, stretching from Ethiopia to India, should have often been distracted by the cares of his mighty empire and so have his sleep driven from him.
