SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:1
¶ El mismo día dio el rey Asuero a la reina Ester la casa de Amán enemigo de los judíos; y Mardoqueo vino delante del rey, porque Ester le declaró lo que era respecto de ella .
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Esther 8:1
Verse 1. The king-give the house of Haman] As Haman was found guilty of treasonable practices against the peace and prosperity of the king and his empire, his life was forfeited and his goods confiscated. And as Mordecai had been the means of preserving the king's life, and was the principal object of Haman's malice, it was but just to confer his property upon him, as well as his dignity and office, as Mordecai was found deserving of the former, and fit to discharge the duties of the latter.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. On that day did the King, Ahasuerus, give the house of Haman, the Jews’ enemy, unto Esther the queen , etc.] That, and all the goods in it, and estate belonging to it; which being confiscated to the king, he gave to Esther, who would have been the sufferer, had his scheme taken place; so the Targum adds, “and the men of his house, and all his treasures, and all his riches:” and Mordecai came before the king ; was introduced into his presence, became one of his privy counsellors, one of those that saw the king’s face, and sat first in the kingdom, ( Esther 1:14) for Esther had told what he was unto her ; what relation he stood in to her; her uncle, according to the Vulgate Latin version, and so Aben Ezra and Josephus, but wrongly, for she was his uncle’s daughter; so that they were brother’s children, or own cousins, (see Esther 2:7).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1, 2 - What Haman would have done mischief with, Esther will do good with. All the trust the king had reposed in Haman, he now placed in Mordecai: happy change. See the vanity of laying up treasure upon earth; he tha heapeth up riches, knoweth not who shall gather them. With what littl pleasure, nay, with what constant vexation, would Haman have looke upon his estate, if he could have foreseen that Mordecai, the man he hated above all men in the world, should have rule over all tha wherein he had laboured! It is our interest to make sure of thos riches which will not be left behind, but which will go with us to another world.
