Matthew Henry highlights that God sovereignly prompted Esther's delay. He notes, "God put it into Esther's heart to delay her petition a day longer; she did not know, but God did, what was to happen in that very night." This reveals God's unseen hand orchestrating events for His ultimate purpose, even when the human participants are unaware of the full picture.
