In this passage, King Xerxes addresses Queen Esther and Mordecai, acknowledging the grave injustice Haman attempted against the Jewish people. Haman, who had plotted to destroy the Jews, is punished by being executed on the very pole he had prepared for Mordecai. This act of justice not only serves as a reversal of Haman's evil intentions but also as a testament to the power of standing up for one's people and faith. Esther, through her bravery and wisdom, has been instrumental in saving her people, and Mordecai is elevated in status. The king's decision to give Haman's estate to Esther symbolizes the restoration and reward for those who act righteously. This narrative encourages believers to trust in divine justice and to have the courage to act in faith, knowing that righteousness will ultimately prevail. The story of Esther and Mordecai is a powerful reminder of how God can use individuals to bring about His purposes, even in the face of great adversity.
King Xerxes replied to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, "Because Haman attacked the Jews, I have given his estate to Esther, and they have impaled him on the pole he set up."
