F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Esther 4:1-17

Opportunity for Patriotic Devotion Esther 4:1-17 It seemed as if the whole nation would suddenly be cut off to satisfy the hatred of Haman, and Mordecai knew that he had been the cause of the plot. Esther was evidently living in close sympathy with her uncle, though now separated from him. In reply to the demand that she should hazard her life for the people, there was at first a natural reluctance. Was her love for her people greater than her love for herself? In her resolve there was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Esther 4:1-17

The news of the intended slaughter reached Esther in the royal palace, and she sent to make inquiries. Thus between the extreme need of her people and the king she became a direct link. The custom and law of the court forbade her to approach her lord save at his command. Still, the urgency of the case appealed to her, and with splendid heroism she determined to venture. Conscious of her need of moral support, she asked that the people might fast with her. There is a note of sacrifice and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Esther 4:1-17

Esther 4. The Dismay of the Jews. Mordecai Overcomes Esther’ s Reluctance to Intercede with the King.— And now the gloom spreads. At this point, the LXX has a pathetic message from Mordecai to his niece, the queen. Surely the original had a passage of this kind: here the Heb. scribes have probably excised something that was very fitting because it spoke of Yahweh’ s omnipotence and His certain care for Israel. Such a passage would be true to Israelitish character, as we know it, from the time... read more

CRITICAL NOTES.] Esther 4:11. The inner court] The court that faced the principal audience hall—the throne chamber—where alone it would be practicable for Esther to see the king on such business. In the time of Deioceses the Mede, approach to the king was already very difficult; and among the Persians, with very few exceptions, no one was permitted to approach the king without a notice. As to the golden sceptre, Rawlinson observes—A modern critic asks, “Is it likely that a Persian king would... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Esther 4:1-17

Chapter 4When Mordecai perceived all that was done, he tore his clothes, he put on sackcloth with ashes, and he went out into the midst of the city, and he cried with a loud and bitter cry; And he even came before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate who was clothed with sackcloth. And in every province, wherever the king's decree had come, there was a great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing: and many lay in sackcloth and ashes. So Esther's... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Esther 4:1-17

Esther 4:8 . He gave him the copy of the writing; for the decree, or dogma, was exposed to the public. Esther 4:11 . One law of his to put him to death. This was an ancient law of the Persian kings. Herodotus has noticed it much the same as in the text. The Assyrian kings, it would seem, did not permit their subjects at any time to see them. This law was the effect of fear: the monarchs of the east being absolute and tyrannical, plots were often formed against them; it was also thought... read more

Again Esther spake unto Hatack ] Having before found him a fit and faithful messenger, she further employeth him; so those that minister well do purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 3:13 , when others shall be laid by as broken vessels, whereof there is not left a sheard to take fire from the hearth, or to take water with it from the... read more
