Summary: In Esther chapter 2, the narrative shifts focus to the search for a new queen following the dismissal of Queen Vashti. The chapter introduces Esther, a Jewish orphan raised by her cousin Mordecai, who is selected as a candidate for the king’s harem due to her beauty. The text outlines the preparations and beautification process for the young women, emphasizing the rigorous selection criteria they must undergo. Esther gains favor with Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the harem, who provides her with special treatment and advice. Ultimately, Esther is chosen to be queen, although her Jewish identity remains undisclosed at Mordecai's insistence. Key themes include the providence of God working behind the scenes, identity, and the importance of preparation for future roles. This chapter establishes Esther's rise to power, setting the stage for the events that will unfold in the continuing story.
