This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Est_6:2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
Ver. 2. And it was found written] It was God who directed the reader to that very place; like as he did the eunuch to Isa_53:7-8, where, reading of the meekness of Jesus Christ, he was transformed into the same image; as was likewise Johannes Isaac, a Jew, converted by reading the same chapter. Hoc ego ingenue profiteor, saith he, caput illud ad fidem Christi me adduxisse: This I confess ingenuously, that lighting upon that chapter, I was brought thereby to the faith of Christ. Austin thought he heard a voice, saying, Tolle, lege, take up the Bible and read; accordingly he took it up, and opening it, fell upon that text in Rom_13:14, which was the main means of his conversion.
That Mordecai had told of Bigthana, &c.] See Est_2:21-23.
