Ester 2:8
Då nu konungens befallning och påbud blev kunnigt, och många unga kvinnor samlades tillhopa till Susans borg och överlämnades åt Hegai, blev ock Ester hämtad till konungshuset och överlämnad åt kvinnovaktaren Hegai.

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.)
