5Now there wasH1961 at the citadelH1002 of SusaH7800 a JewishH3064 manH376 from the tribe of BenjaminH1145 namedH8034 MordecaiH4782 sonH1121 of JairH2971, the sonH1121 of ShimeiH8096, the sonH1121 of KishH7027. 6HeH834 had been carried into exileH1540 from JerusalemH3389 by NebuchadnezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 amongH5973 those taken captiveH1473 withH5973 JeconiahH32041 kingH4428 of JudahH3063.
7AndH1961 Mordecai had brought upH539 HadassahH1919 (that isH1931, EstherH635), the daughterH1323 of his uncleH1730, becauseH3588 she did notH369 have a fatherH1 or motherH517.
