The Lord Will

Esther 2:6

β€œWho had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.”

KJV

Read in Esther 2

Meaning

The verse situates Mordecai and Esther within the history of Jewish displacement, making their life in Persia part of the larger experience of exile rather than an isolated court tale.
