Gill's Notes on the Bible
The letter which ye sent unto us,.... The plural number is used, being now become courtly for kings thus to speak of themselves:
hath been plainly before me; by such that understood both the Syrian and Persian languages; the letter was written in the Syrian language, and the king being a Persian, it was necessary it should be interpreted and explained to him.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hath been ... read - It is doubtful if the Persian monarchs could ordinarily read. At any rate, it was their habit to have documents read to them (compare Esther 6:1). This is still the ordinary practice in Eastern courts.
