Ester 2:20

Filipino Cebuano Bible

20 Si Ester wala pa magpahibalo sa iyang kaubanan ni sa iyang katawohan; ingon sa gisugo ni Mardocheo kaniya: kay si Ester nagtuman sa sugo ni Mardocheo, sama sa didto nga nagatubo pa siya uban kaniya.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Esther had not showed her kindred nor her people, as Mordecai had charged her,.... As not before, so neither since she was made queen, see Esther 2:10, though, according to the Targums, she was urged to it by the king himself:

for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him: which showed great humility in her, notwithstanding her advancement, great respect to him, and a sense of gratitude for the kindness he had shown; and this charge to her was still continued by Mordecai, partly that she might not fall into contempt, and partly to prevent hatred and envy to the Jewish nation, through her promotion; but chiefly so it was ordered in Providence, the proper time being not yet come.
