Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersII.(1) After these things.--We have seen that the great feast at Susa was in the year 483 B.C. , and that in the spring of 481 B.C. Xerxes set out for Greece. At some unspecified time, then, between these limits the proposal now started is to be placed. The marriage of Esther, however (Esther 2:16), did not come about till after the return from Greece, the king's long absence explaining the otherwise curious delay, and moreover, even in this interval, he was entangled in more than one illicit connection.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSome time later,אַחַר֙ (’a·ḥar)AdverbStrong's 310: The hind or following partwhen the angerחֲמַ֖ת (ḥă·maṯ)Noun - feminine singular constructStrong's 2534: Heat, anger, poisonof Kingהַמֶּ֣לֶךְ (ham·me·leḵ)Article | Noun - masculine singularStrong's 4428: A kingXerxesאֲחַשְׁוֵר֑וֹשׁ (’ă·ḥaš·wê·rō·wōš)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 325: Ahasuerus -- king of Persiahad subsided,כְּשֹׁ֕ךְ (kə·šōḵ)Preposition-k | Verb - Qal - Infinitive constructStrong's 7918: To weave, a trap, to allayhe recalledזָכַ֤ר (zā·ḵar)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2142: To mark, to remember, to mention, to be maleVashtiוַשְׁתִּי֙ (waš·tî)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 2060: Vashti -- queen of Persandוְאֵ֣ת (wə·’êṯ)Conjunctive waw | Direct object markerStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative casewhatאֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thatshe had done,עָשָׂ֔תָה (‘ā·śā·ṯāh)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person feminine singularStrong's 6213: To do, makeandוְאֵ֥ת (wə·’êṯ)Conjunctive waw | Direct object markerStrong's 853: Untranslatable mark of the accusative casewhatאֲשֶׁר־ (’ă·šer-)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thathad been decreedנִגְזַ֖ר (niḡ·zar)Verb - Nifal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 1504: To cut down, off, to destroy, divide, exclude, decideagainst her.עָלֶֽיהָ׃ (‘ā·le·hā)Preposition | third person feminine singularStrong's 5921: Above, over, upon, againstJump to PreviousAbated Ahasuerus Ahasu-E'rus Anger Appeased Assuaged Ceasing Decreed Feelings Fury King's Later Mind Order Pacified Remembered Subsided Thought Vashti Wrath Xerxes
