Esther 2:8

Context

2:8 It so happened that when the king’s edict and his law became known 1  many young women were taken to Susa the citadel to be placed under the authority of Hegai. Esther also was taken to the royal palace 2  to be under the authority of Hegai, who was overseeing the women.

1 tn Heb “were heard” (so NASB); NRSV “were (had been NIV) proclaimed.”

2 tn Heb “the house of the king.” So also in vv. 9, 13. Cf. NLT “the king’s harem.”
