SIL Translator’s Notes on Esther 6:8

6:8a

a royal robe that the king himself has worn: Choose a word for a long outer garment, like a long coat. This was not just a special garment, but one which the king himself had worn.

6:8b

a royal crest placed on its head: This is the same word in Hebrew as was used for the queen’s crown in 1:11a and 2:17c. See note on 1:11a. Here the crown was attached to the horse’s head to show that the horse belonged to the king.
