Esther 2:17-18

17The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that 1he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. 18Then 2the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his princes and his servants; he also made a holiday for the provinces and gave gifts 3according to the king’s bounty.
