Esther 2:18-20

18Then 1the 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 2according to the king’s bounty.

19 3When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai 4was sitting at the king’s gate. 20 5Esther had not yet made known her kindred or her people, even as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther did 6what Mordecai told her as she had done 7when under his care.
