Esther 8:1 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Did the king give the house of Haman unto Esther That is, he bestowed upon her the whole estate belonging to his family, his lands, his goods, his servants, his cattle, with all the money he had treasured up. All this is included here in his house, which, being justly forfeited to the king, is no less justly bestowed by him upon the queen, to compensate, in some degree, the danger to which Haman had exposed her. And Mordecai came before the king Was by the queen's desire admitted into the king's presence and family, and probably made one of the seven princes. For Esther had told what he was unto her How nearly he was related to her, which till this time she had wisely concealed.
