Esther 2:15-20

15And when the turn of EstherH635, the daughterH1323 of AbihailH32 the uncleH1730 of MordecaiH4782, who had takenH3947 her for his daughterH1323, cameH935 to goH935 in to the kingH4428, she required nothing but what HegaiH1896 the king's chamberlain, keeperH8104 of the womenH802, appointed. And EstherH635 obtained graceH2580 in the sight of all them that sawH7200 her.

16So EstherH635 was takenH3947 to kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, into his royal houseH1004, in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, that is, the monthH2320 Tebeth, in the seventh yearH8141 of his reignH4438.

17And the kingH4428 lovedH157 EstherH635 above all the womenH802, and she obtained graceH2580 and favour in his sight more than all the virginsH1330, and he setH7760 the royal crownH3804 upon her headH7218, and madeH7760 her queen instead of VashtiH2060.

18And the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 to all his princesH8269 and his servantsH5650, Esther's feastH4960; and he madeH6213 a release to the provincesH4082, and gaveH5414 presents according to the king's bounty.

19And when the virginsH1330 were gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 the secondH8145 timeH8145, MordecaiH4782 satH3427 in the king's gateH8179.

20(EstherH635, as MordecaiH4782 had charged her, had not yet madeH6213 known her birthH4138 nor her peopleH5971; for EstherH635 did what MordecaiH4782 toldH5046 her, like as when she was brought up with him.)
