Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Hata, setelah termasyhurlah titah baginda dan hukum itu dan beberapa berapa anak darapun sudah dihimpunkan di dalam kota Susan di bawah perintah Hejai, maka Esterpun dibawa masuk ke dalam istana baginda di bawah perintah Hejai, penunggu segala perempuan itu.

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.)
