Take the 2-minute tour ×  I remember seeing a book which
explains how, b'derech Drash, every instance of the word
"Melech" in Megilas Esther, as referring to Hashem.  Does anyone
know the name of this sefer?  share|improve this question Are
you asking for a book that states that every instance is
referring to Hashem, or explains in each instance how it is
referring to Hashem? –  YeZ Jan 29 at 5:22 I've heard that this
only applied to the word HaMelech, and only when not followed by
the name Achashverosh. –  Ypnypn Jan 29 at 17:00 @ypnypn The
midrash in Megillah - Ester Rabba 3:10 (at least as quoted by
the Gra) says it without any qualification. Although it does say
hamelech, not melech. I'm not sure how common melech is in the
megillah, anyways. –  YeZ Jan 29 at 23:03 Are you thinking of
sefer ילקוט מלכו של עולם? –  sam Jan 30 at 2:07 @YEZ thanks for
the source; I checked it up and it says clearly that it's only
when not followed by Achashverosh. –  Ypnypn Jan 30 at 2:49  1
