George Leo Haydock, on Esth 2:5
George Leo Haydock · 1774–1849
Esth 2:5 · Douay-Rheims
“There was a man in the city of Susan, a Jew, named Mardochai, the son of Jair, the son of Semei, the son of Cis, of the race of Jemini,”
On this verse:
“Jew. He was of the tribe of Benjamin. But all went by this name, after the captivity. Mardochai had probably returned from Jerusalem, seeing things were unfinished there, 1 Esdras ii. 2. (Calmet) — Semei, who cursed David. (Chaldean) — Cis. The head of the royal family of Saul; whence authors have concluded that he and Esther were of royal blood, (Calmet) and descendants of Miphiboseth. (Tirinus)”
