以斯帖記 6:3 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Esther 6:1-3

Now Satan put it into the heart of Haman to contrive Mordecai's death we read in the foregoing chapter; how God put it into the heart of the king to contrive Mordecai's honour we are here told. Now, if the king's word will prevail above Haman's (for, though Haman be a great man, the king in the throne must be above him), much more will the counsel of God stand, whatever devices there are in men's hearts. It is to no purpose therefore for Haman to oppose it, when both God and the king will have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Esther 6:3

And the king said, what honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this ?.... He judged it an action worthy of regard, and what ought to be rewarded, as it was the saving of his life; but had forgot whether any royal favour had been shown to the person for it: then said the king's servants that ministered unto him ; the lords of his bedchamber then in waiting: there is nothing done for him ; not on that account, nothing more than what he had; he had an office at court before,... read more

What honor and dignity hath been done to Mordecai - It is certain he found nothing in the record; and had any thing been done, that was the most likely place to find it. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 6:1-4

A forgotten service brought to mind. I. GRANDEUR OF OUTWARD CONDITION DOES NOT PROTECT MIND OR BODY AGAINST ORDINARY INFIRMITIES . The king of Persia could not at will command sleep. The loss of the power to sleep is not confined to any position, though it is perhaps more common amongst the rich than the poor. The humble labourer may find sounder and sweeter sleep on his hard couch than a mighty and luxurious king on his bed of down. II. How TO SPEND ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 6:2-14

The honour that cometh from man. Unable to sleep, the king calls for something to beguile the weary hours; he has the chronicles of his reign read to him; he is struck with the fact of his own life having been saved by Mordecai, inquires what has been the reward given to this dutiful subject, discovers that nothing whatever has been done for him, and calls for Haman to ask his counsel. Haman is at hand, full of his murderous design against Mordecai. We picture to ourselves his impatience... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 6:3

The king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? The discoverer of a conspiracy against the life of the king would in any country have been regarded as entitled to some reward. In Persia, where "royal benefactors" formed a distinct class, and had their names inscribed on a special list (Herod; 8.85), it was especially incumbent on the monarch to see that every such person received a return proportioned to the value of his service. Ahasuerus seems to have supposed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Esther 6:3

Royal ingratitude. The awakening conscience of Ahasuerus deserves our attention. I. HE IS SENSIBLE THAT HIS PRESERVER DESERVED " HONOUR AND DIGNITY ." The king had rewarded a worthless favourite with wealth and power; but, as he now learned, a man who had preserved his life had been passed over unnoticed and unrewarded. It was discreditable in the sight of the nation and before his own judgment that it should have been so. II. HE IS SURPRISED AT HIMSELF... read more

Albert Barnes

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
