Esth 12:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And the king commanded him, to abide in the court of the palace, and gave him presents for the information.”
On this verse:
“Palace, as an officer. — Presents, of small value. (Calmet) — The king had inquired, (Greek, chap. vi. 3.) “What glory or favour have we done to Mardochai? and the ministers replied: Thou hast done nothing to him,” to honour him as he deserves.”
