Esther 4:2

English Standard Version

2 He went up to the entrance of the king’s gate, for no one was allowed to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth.

New International Version

2 But he went only as far as the king’s gate, because no-one clothed in sackcloth was allowed to enter it.

New International Reader’s Version

2 But he only went as far as the palace gate. That’s because no one dressed in that rough clothing was allowed to go through it.

King James Version

2 And came even before the king' gate: for none might enter into the king' gate clothed with sackcloth.
