Matthew Poole and continuators on Esther 2:9

9 And the maiden pleased him , and she obtained kindness of him, and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the kings house, and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

Partly because she was very beautiful, and therefore he supposed she would be very acceptable to the King; which would be his advantage; and partly by the Divine Power, which moveth the hearts of men which way he pleaseth.

Marginal references: Heb. her portions.; Heb. he changed her.
