Before relating how this matter was carried into execution, the historian introduces us to the two persons who play the chief parts in the following narrative. Est 2:5. There was (dwelt) in the citadel of Susa a Jew of the name of Mordochai (מרדּכי, in more correct editions מרדכי), the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite (ימיני אישׁ like Sa1 9:1). Jair, Shimei, and Kish can hardly mean the father, grandfather, and great-grandfather of Mordochai. On the contrary, if Jair were perhaps his father, Shimei and Kish may have been the names of renowned ancestors. Shimei was probably the son of Gera, well known to us from the history of David, Sa2 16:5. and Kg1 2:8, Kg1 2:36., and Kish the father of Saul, Ch1 8:33; Sa1 9:1; for in genealogical series only a few noted names are generally given; comp., e.g., Ch1 9:19; Ch1 6:24. Upon the ground of this explanation, Josephus (Ant. xi. 6) makes Esther of royal descent, viz., of the line of Saul, king of Israel; and the Targum regards Shimei as the Benjamite who cursed David. The name Mordochai occurs in Ezr 2:2 and Neh 7:7 as that of some other individual among those who returned from captivity with Zerubbabel, but can hardly be connected with the Persian mrdky, little man. Aben Ezra, Lightfoot, and others, indeed, are of opinion that the Mordochai of the present book really came up with Zerubbabel, but subsequently returned to Babylon. Identity of name is not, however, a sufficient proof of identity of person. The chronological statement, Est 2:6 : who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah, king of Judah, etc., offers some difficulty. For from the captivity of Jeconiah in the year 599 to the beginning of the reign of Xerxes (in the year 486) is a peri…
افتح المصدر ↗Two things are recorded in this chapter, which were working towards the deliverance of the Jews from Haman's conspiracy: - 1I. The advancement of Esther to be queen instead of Vashti. Many others were candidates for the honour (Est 2:1-4); but Esther, an orphan, a captive-Jewess (Est 2:5-7), recommended herself to the king's chamberlain first (Est 2:8-11) and then to the king (Est 2:12-17), who made her queen (Est 2:18-20). II. The good service that Mordecai did to the king in discovering a plot against his life (Est 2:21-23).

وَلَمَّا جَاءَ الْمَلِكُ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَحُورِيمَ إِذَا بِرَجُل خَارِجٍ مِنْ هُنَاكَ مِنْ عَشِيرَةِ بَيْتِ شَاوُلَ، اسْمُهُ شِمْعِي بْنُ جِيرَا، يَسُبُّ وَهُوَ يَخْرُجُ،
وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنْيَامِينَ اسْمُهُ قَيْسُ بْنُ أَبِيئِيلَ بْنِ صَرُورَ بْنِ بَكُورَةَ بْنِ أَفِيحَ، ابْنُ رَجُل بَنْيَامِينِيٍّ جَبَّارَ بَأْسٍ.
أَنَّهُ فِي تِلْكَ الأَيَّامِ حِينَ جَلَسَ الْمَلِكُ أَحَشْوِيرُوشُ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مُلْكِهِ الَّذِي فِي شُوشَنَ الْقَصْرِ،
وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ لَبِسَتْ أَسْتِيرُ ثِيَابًا مَلَكِيَّةً وَوَقَفَتْ فِي دَارِ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ مُقَابَِلَ بَيْتِ الْمَلِكِ، وَالْمَلِكُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّ مُلْكِهِ فِي بَيْتِ الْمُلْكِ مُقَابَِلَ مَدْخَلِ الْبَيْتِ.
وَلْيُوَكِّلِ الْمَلِكُ وُكَلاَءَ فِي كُلِّ بِلاَدِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ لِيَجْمَعُوا كُلَّ الْفَتَيَاتِ الْعَذَارَى الْحَسَنَاتِ الْمَنْظَرِ إِلَى شُوشَنَ الْقَصْرِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ النِّسَاءِ، إِلَى يَدِ هَيْجَايَ خَصِيِّ الْمَلِكِ حَارِسِ النِّسَاءِ، وَلْيُعْطَيْنَ أَدْهَانَ عِطْرِهِنَّ.
لأَنَّ مُرْدَخَايَ الْيَهُودِيَّ كَانَ ثَانِيَ الْمَلِكِ أَحَشْوِيرُوشَ، وَعَظِيمًا بَيْنَ الْيَهُودِ، وَمَقْبُولاً عِنْدَ كَثْرَةِ إِخْوَتِهِ، طَالِبًا الْخَيْرَ لِشَعْبِهِ وَمُتَكَلِّمًا بِالسَّلاَمِ لِكُلِّ نَسْلِهِ.
