Gill's Notes on the Bible
So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out,.... Or on the mules, which in the Persian language were called "ahashteranim";
:-,
being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment; who gave them a special order to make what haste they could, that the Jews might have time to prepare for their defence, and their enemies be the more intimidated:
and the decree was given at Shushan the palace; the king's counsellors agreeing to it, and perhaps signing it, as they did the former; see Esther 3:15.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Being hastened - Between Sivan, the third month (June), when the posts went out, and Adar, the twelfth month (March), when the struggle was to take place, the interval would be one of more than 8 months; but all haste was made, with the object of their being no misunderstanding.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Esther 8:14. The decree was given at Shushan — The contrary effect which it was to produce considered, this decree was in every respect like the former. See Esther 3:8-15.
