Adam Clarke, on Esth 2:13
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 2:13 · Douay-Rheims
“And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king’s chamber.”
On this verse:
“Whatsoever she desired - When any of the young women were called to go to the king, it appears that it was an ordinance that whatever kind of dress stuff, color, jewels, etc., they thought best to set off their persons, and render them more engaging, should be given them.”
