Adam Clarke, on Esth 4:5
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 4:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this.”
On this verse:
“Then called Esther for Hatach - This eunuch the king had appointed to wait upon her, partly, as is still the case in the East, to serve her, and partly, to observe her conduct; for no despot is ever exempt from a twofold torture, jealousy and suspicion.”
