บัดนี้เมื่อถึงเวรของเอสเธอร์ บุตรสาวของอาบีฮาอิล ลุงของโมรเดคัยผู้ซึ่งรับเธอไว้เป็นบุตรสาว จะเข้าเฝ้ากษัตริย์ เธอมิได้ขอสิ่งใด นอกจากสิ่งที่เฮกัยข้าราชสำนักของกษัตริย์ผู้ดูแลพวกสตรีแนะนำ ฝ่ายเอสเธอร์ได้รับความโปรดปรานในสายตาของทุกคนที่ได้พบเห็น

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now when the turn of Esther the daughter of Abihail,.... For this was her father's name, and not Aminadab, as the Septuagint version:

the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter; which makes it quite clear that Mordecai was not Esther's uncle, as Josephus, but her own cousin: now when her turn

was come to go in unto the king; which the virgins under purification took by turns, Esther 2:14,

she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed; what he ordered her to have, or to do, she submitted to, being in his hands, and so obeyed his orders; but more she asked not, either for ornament or attendance, being not at all solicitous whether the king liked her or not; for it was not of choice, but by constraint, she went unto him; nor needed she anything to recommend her, her virtue, modesty, and beauty, were sufficient:

and Esther obtained favour of all them that looked upon her: when she came to court, the eyes of all were attracted to her; all admired her beauty, her innocent and modest look, and her graceful mien and deportment.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

She required nothing - The other virgins perhaps loaded themselves with precious ornaments of various kinds, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, anklets, and the like. Esther let Hegai dress her as he would.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 15. She required nothing — She left this entirely to her friend Hege, who seems to have been intent on her success. She therefore left her decorations to his judgment alone, and went in that dress and in those ornaments which he deemed most suitable.
