OET (OET-LV) And_ ʼEştēr _she/it_called/named for_Hathach of_eunuchs_of the_king whom he_had_made_stand to_face/front_her and_ordered_him on Mārəddəkay to_know what [was]_this and_for what [was]_this.
OET (OET-RV) The king had assigned some of the royal guardians to Esther personally, so Esther called for one of them—a man named Hathak. She told him to go out and speak with Mordekai and find out what he was so distressed about.

and=she/it_called/named ʼEştēr for,Hathach of,eunuchs_of the=king
Alternative translation: “then Esther summoned Hathak, one of the king’s officials”
Note 1 topic: translate-names
לַהֲתָ֜ךְ
for,Hathach
This is a man’s name. It occurs several times in this chapter. Be sure to translate it consistently.
Note 2 topic: writing-background
מִסָּרִיסֵ֤י הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר הֶעֱמִ֣יד לְפָנֶ֔יהָ
of,eunuchs_of the=king which/who appointed to,face/front,her
Alternate translation: “who was one of the royal guardians whom the king had assigned to serve Esther personally” You can put this information first because it provides background information.
Note 3 topic: translate-unknown
מִסָּרִיסֵ֤י
of,eunuchs_of
See how you translated this term eunuch in 1:10.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
לְפָנֶ֔יהָ
to,face/front,her
Here, face represents the presence of a person. This phrase means that the guardians served Esther personally.
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
לָדַ֥עַת מַה־זֶּ֖ה וְעַל־מַה־זֶּֽה
to=know what? this and,for what? it
These two phrases mean similar things. In both cases, “this” refers to what Mordecai was doing. The repetition is used to emphasize that Esther now knew there must be a very serious reason why Mordecai was wearing sackcloth in such a public place. Alternate translation: “to find out why he was so distressed that he was sitting at the palace gate wearing sackcloth”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
