Esther 8:1-2

1. The rewarding of Esther and Mordecai 8:1-2

Haman’s "house" (Esther 8:1) was his estate. Esther received the estate, probably to compensate her for her suffering. The king gave Mordecai Haman’s place as second in authority (cf. Joseph, Genesis 41:42; Nehemiah, Nehemiah 1:11 to Nehemiah 2:8; and Daniel, Daniel 5:7; Daniel 5:29; Daniel 6:3).
