SRB26
Hans närmaste var Karsena, Setar, Admata, Tarsis, Meres, Marsena och Memukan, de sju furstarna i Persien och Medien, som när som helst kunde få företräde hos kungen och var de främsta i riket.
SKB
De som stod honom närmast [av dessa visa män] var Karshena, Shetar, Admata, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena [och] Memochan, sju av Persiens och Mediens furstar som hade tillträde till kungens ansikte (närhet) och stod högst i rang i kungariket. [Att sju eunucker och sju furstar nämns pekar symboliskt på att kungen vill påskina att hans rike är fullkomligt och perfekt. Talet sju står för bland annat fulländning. Eftersom det var ett mänskligt rike, som inte var underordnat Gud, var det bara mänskligt perfekt, men det fanns också en välsignelse från Gud här eftersom Esra och Nehemja fick kungens välsignelse att återuppbygga Jerusalems murar och dess tempel. En av eunuckerna, Bigta (vers 10), nämns igen i samband med en sammansvärjning för att döda kungen, se Est 2:21; 6:2.]
