Ester 2:8

Shqip Bible

Kur urdhëri i mbretit dhe dekreti i tij u përhapën, dhe shumë vajza u mblodhën në qytetin e Suzës nën mbikqyrjen e Hegait, edhe Esterin e çuan në pallatin e mbretit nën mbikëqyrjen e Hegait, rojtarit të grave.

Hegai: One of Dr. Kennicott's manuscripts, instead of Hegai has Hege, as in Esther 2:3.

Reciprocal: Daniel 8:2 - Shushan

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and decree was heard,.... In the several provinces of his kingdom:

and when many maidens were gathered unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai; Josephus o says, there were gathered to the number of four hundred:

that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, the keeper of the women: by force, as Aben Ezra and the former Targum, and so the word is sometimes used.

o Ibid. (Antiqu. l. 11. c. 6. sect. 2.)
