Esth 4:1-4

Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible

---

Back to Esther.

---

• The Jews lament their danger. (1-4) Esther undertakes to plead for the Jews. (5-17)

---

1-4 Mordecai avowed his relation to the Jews. Public calamities, that oppress the church of God, should affect our hearts more than any private affliction, and it is peculiarly distressing to occasion sufferings to others. God will keep those that are exposed to evil by the tenderness of their consciences.
