Blue and white - Probably stripe interchanged with stripe; or blue faced and bordered with white fur.
A great crown of gold - A large turban, ornamented with gold, jewels, etc.
Fine linen and purple - See on Genesis 41:42 (note). The בץ buts, here mentioned, is most probably the same with the byssus of the ancients; supposed to be the beautiful tuft or beard, growing out of the side of the pinna longa, a very large species of muscle, found on the coasts of the Mediterranean Sea, of which there are a pair of gloves in the British Museum. This byssus I have described elsewhere.
Shushan - was glad - Haman was too proud to be popular; few lamented his fall.
See the Esther 1:6 note. The "crown" was not a crown like the king's, but a mere golden band or coronet.
A garment - Or, "an inner robe." The tunic or inner robe of the king was of purple, striped with white.
8:15 Great crown - Which the chief of the Persian princes were permitted to wear but with sufficient distinction from the king's crown.The city - Not only Jews, but the greatest number of the citizens, who by the law of nature abhorred bloody counsels, and had a complacency in acts of mercy.
