Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Esther's maids and her chamberlains. A queen consort at an Oriental court is sure to have, besides her train of maids, a numerous body of eunuchs, who are at her entire disposal, and are especially employed in going her errands and maintaining her communications with the outer world. Told her. Esther's interest in Mordecai would be known to the maids and eunuchs by Mordecai's inquiries about her (Esther 1:11) and communications with her (ibid. ver. 22).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) So Esther's maids . . .--It is perhaps fair to infer from this, that Esther's connection with Mordecai was known to those about her, though as yet not to the king.
