Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - And the thing was known unto Mordecai. Josephus says that a certain Pharnabazus, a slave of one of the conspirators, betrayed them to Mordecai ('Ant. Jud.,' 14:6, § 4). One of the Targums on Esther attributes his discovery of the plot to his knowledge of languages. But it is probable that these are mere guesses. And Esther certified the king thereof. The original is simpler, "And Esther told it to the king." In Mordecai's name. Mordecai's name thus came first before the king. Esther mentioned him as her informant, but did not say that he was related to her (comp. Esther 8:1).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) And Esther certified the king thereof.--Doubtless by this means an increased influence was gained over the capricious mind of the king, an influence which before long served Esther in good stead.
