Esther 8:14 - Exposition

The posts that rode upon mules and camels . Rather, "that rode on coursers of the stud royal" (see the comment on Esther 8:10 ). The verse repeats Esther 3:15 , with small additions. It appears that the later posts were urged to haste still more strongly than the earlier ones—not that time really pressed, but from superabundant caution—that there might be an opportunity for further communications between the provinces and the court, if doubt was anywhere entertained as to the king's intentions.
