Biblia Karoli Gaspar

Eszter 2:8

Lõn pedig, mikor a király parancsa és rendelete kihirdettetett és sok leány gyûjtetett Susán várába, Hégai keze alá, akkor felvétetett Eszter is a király házába, Hégainak, az asszonyok õrének keze alá.

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.)
