Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Esther 2:13

John Gill, on Esth 2:13

John Gill · 1697–1771
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:
“Then thus came every virgin unto the king,.... When her twelve months were up, and she was purified in the manner before observed: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house; whatever she commanded the chamberlain was obliged to furnish her with, or grant it to her, whether for ornament, as jewels, rich apparel, &c. or for attendance; whatever prince or peer she required to accompany her to the king, was to be obtained for her, as the Targum: and everything for mirth, all kinds of songs, or instruments of music, as Jarchi.”
