Est 2, 1-6

1 Now he was staying at that time in the king’s court with Bagatha and Thara the king’s eunuchs, who were porters of the palace. 2 And when he realized their thoughts, and had diligently paid close attention, he learned that they were attempting to cast their hand against king Artaxerxes, and he reported this to the king. 3 Then the king had both of them questioned, and when they confessed, he ordered a sentence of death. 4 But the king had what had happened written in the commentaries. And even Mordecai handed over the 286 memory of these things into writing. 5 And the king instructed him to remain in the court of the palace, having given him this position for the information. 6 In truth, Haman the son of Hammedatha the Bougaean had great honor in the eyes of the king, and he wanted to harm Mordecai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king who had been executed.

Verš 6

In truth, Haman the son of Hammedatha the Bougaean had great honor in the eyes of the king, and he wanted to harm Mordecai and his people because of the two eunuchs of the king who had been executed.

2Kr 24:14 - And he carried away all of Jerusalem, and all the leaders, and all the strong men of the army, ten thousand, into captivity, with every artisan and craftsman. And no one was left behind, except the poor among the people of the land.

Est 2,6 - Mordechaj (Mardochej) je potomkom niektorého Žida z tých, ktorí boli odvedení do zajatia s Joachimom r. 598. Možno, že aj jeho starý otec mal to isté meno ako aj vnuk. Ináč meno Mordechaj je mnohonásobne doložené medzi menami zajatcov z doby Achemenovcov. Možno, že toto meno dávali Babylonci Židom vôbec a tí sa s takým pomenovaním časom aj spriatelili, hoci sa v tomto mene skrýva názov hlavného babylonského boha, Marduka.

Est 2,7 - Ester (Aster) značí Hviezda. Edisa-Hadasa (Edissa-Hadassa) značí Myrta. Edissa bolo jej židovské meno. Aester, Ester pokladajú niektorí za zmenenú formu mena hlavnej bohyne Ištar.

Est 2,9 - "Páčila sa mu", t. j. Egeovi, dozorcovi kráľovského háremu. Podľa hebr.: vykázal Ester a jej skupine najlepšie byty v háreme.

Est 2,19 - Pokrvní kráľovských "žien" mali voľnejší prístup do kráľovského hradu. Niektorí dostávali aj štátnu službu: boli dozorcami, vyzvedačmi a podobnými úradníkmi.

Est 2,23 - Peržania zločincov trestali obesením. "Šibenica" bola aj zaostrený kôl, na ktorý napichli zločinca na prsiach alebo v rozkroku.
