The Lord Will

Esther 2:14

β€œIn the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.”

Read in Esther 2

Meaning

The verse makes clear the unequal structure of the royal system and the uncertain future of those who pass through it. Esther's later elevation is exceptional within this arrangement.
