Esther is taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women

에스더가 왕궁으로 이끌려 가서 궁녀를 주관하는 헤개의 수하에 속함

Esther 2:8–11: when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Susa, to the custody of Hegai, Esther is taken into the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. “The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king’s house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women’s house.” Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known. Mordecai walks every day in front of the court of the women’s house, to find out how Esther was doing, and what would become of her. The Korean Revised Version names Hegai and Esther at 2:9 (헤개가 이 처녀를 기뻐하여, Hegai was pleased with the maiden; 에스더와 그 궁녀들을, Esther and her maidens), where WEB reads “him”, “He” and “her”, and gives Mordecai’s charge in his words (모르드개가 명하여 고하지 말라 하였음이라, Mordecai had commanded, Do not tell).
