Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now it came to pass on the third day,.... Of the fast; though the former Targum paraphrases it the third day of the passover, the sixteenth of Nisan, :-, though it is probable this was nearer the time fixed for the destruction of the Jews, see Esther 8:9, yet the Jews have fixed the fast of Esther on that very day, the thirteenth of Adar f:

that Esther put on her royal apparel; in order to go in to the king, and appear before him; which to do in a mournful habit, such as she had on when fasting, was not proper; for then she put off her royal crown, as is intimated in the additions to the book of Esther,

And upon the third day, when she had ended her prayers, she laid away her mourning garments, and put on her glorious apparel. (Esther 15:1)

and as was usual for princes to do in times of mourning g; but now she put it on, as both Ben Gorion h and the latter Targum affirm:

and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house; into which none might go but such as were called; yet Esther being queen, the keepers of the door could not forbid her, as Aben Ezra observes:

and the king sat upon his royal throne, in the royal house, over against the gate of the house; so that he could see whoever came in at it, into the inner court.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Over against the gate - This is the usual situation of the throne in the “throne-room” of an Oriental palace. The monarch, from his raised position, can see into the court through the doorway opposite to him, which is kept open.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER V

Esther presents herself before the king, and finds favour in his

sight, 1, 2.

He asks what her request is, and promises to grant it, 3.

She invites him and Haman to a banquet, which they accept, 4, 5.

He then desires to know her request; and she promises to make

it known on the morrow, if they will again come to her banquet,

6-8.

Haman, though overjoyed at the manner in which he was received

by the queen, is indignant at the indifference with which he

is treated by Mordecai, 9.

He goes home, and complains of this conduct to his friends, and

his wife Zeresh, 10-13.

They counsel him to make a gallows of fifty cubits high, and to

request the king that Mordecai may be hanged on it, which they

take for granted the king will not refuse; and the gallows is

made accordingly, 14.

NOTES ON CHAP. V

Verse Esther 5:1. On the third day — Most probably the third day of the fast which she has prescribed to Mordecai and the Jews.
