Gill's Notes on the Bible

And in every province whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came,.... For destroying the Jews on such a day, in every place where they were to be found:

there was great mourning among the Jews, and weeping, and wailing; which continued all day:

and many lay in sackcloth and ashes: all night; made use of no other bed to lie on, nor clothes to cover them with.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 4:3. Fasting, and weeping, and wailing — How astonishing, that in all this there is not the slightest intimation given of praying to God!
