Gratitude for a Forgotten Service Esther 6:1-14 There was a divine providence in this royal sleeplessness. On the very next night Haman would be hanging on the gallows, and it would be too late for him to render this honor to the hated Jew. Therefore, on this night the king must be reminded of a forgotten incident, must ask if the chivalrous informant had been rewarded, and must, through Haman, decree his splendid reward. When we are suffering indignity at the hand of our enemies, who seem... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Esther 6:1-14

In the economy of God vast issues follow apparently trivial things. A sleepless night is in itself transient and almost trivial. Yet it has often been a time of revelation and surprise, affecting the after years. In the case of Ahasuerus it was another of the forces by which God moved to preserve His people. To while away its hours, the records were read to the king, and a deed of Mordecai which had passed from his memory led to hasty and strange happenings, which must have filled the heart of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Esther 6:1-14

Esther 6. Haman is Compelled to Do Public Honour to Mordeeai.— Now comes a dramatic scene. Providence is at work, and the clouds are opening. In the night between Esther’ s two drinking-feasts, the king cannot get sleep ( Esther 6:1). Evidently the story-writer means to point thus to the care of the ever-watchful Yahweh, and His management of all things. The court annalist is brought with his records, to read the royal soul to slumber. Why did this reader choose the record about the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Esther 6:3

He hath had no recompence for this great and good service; which might happen, either through the king’s forgetfulness, or through the envy of the courtiers, or because he was a Jew, and therefore odious and contemptible. read more

CRITICAL NOTES.] Esther 6:2.] The name Bigthana is in Esther 2:21 written Bigthan. Esther 6:3.] The king’s question means what honour and reward has been assigned him? What has been apportioned? How has he been requited? “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 great care was taken that they should be properly recommended. It is a mistake, however, to suppose... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Esther 6:1-14

Chapter 6Now that night king Ahasuerus couldn't go to sleep ( Esther 6:1 ),He's lying there restless. No doubt God was in the restlessness. And so he said,bring to me the chronicles [the history]; read to me ( Esther 6:1 ).What's more boring than history? "Read to me the history books." Probably figured he'd go to sleep while they were reading. And as they were reading the history, the records, he came to the place where Mordecai had warned him of the assassination plot. And he said, "What was... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Esther 6:1-14

Esther 6:1 . That night could not the king sleep, the reveries of his mind being excited by guardian angels. See on Psalms 34:7. The LXX read, “But the Lord moved the king that night by dreams.” REFLECTIONS. A new scene of providence is here presented to our view, full of wonders, and full of grace. While Haman was plotting the destruction of Mordecai; while the carpenters were sweating to erect the stage and lofty gallows, God, with perfect ease and sure counsel, was bringing on Haman the... read more

Esther 6:3There is nothing done for him.Merit overlookedModest merit is overlooked, while the aspiring, the ambitious, and the time-serving rise to honour and riches. Nor is ingratitude confined to courts. (T. McCrie, D. D.)Ingratitude to GodBut if gratitude to man for his comparatively little kindness (for man cannot do much for his fellow) animate the believer’s bosom, it glows with still more fervent gratitude to God, for the invaluable and merited blessing of salvation. (T. Hughes.)A... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Esther 6:2

Est 6:2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. Ver. 2. And it was found written ] It was God who directed the reader to that very place; like as he did the eunuch to Isaiah 53:7-8 , where, reading of the meekness of Jesus Christ, he was transformed into the same image; as was likewise Johannes Isaac, a Jew, converted by reading the same chapter.
