Esther 2:12-17
12Now when the turnH8447 of eachH5291 youngH5291 ladyH5291 cameH5060 to goH935 in to KingH4428 AhasuerusH325, afterH4480 the endH7093 of her twelveH8147H6240 monthsH2320 under the regulationsH1881 for the womenH802--for the daysH3117 of their beautificationH4795 were completedH4390 as followsH3651: sixH8337 monthsH2320 with oilH8081 of myrrhH4753 and sixH8337 monthsH2320 with spicesH1314 and the cosmeticsH8562 for womenH802-- 13the youngH5291 ladyH5291 would goH935 in to the kingH4428 in thisH2088 wayH2088: anythingH3605 that she 1desiredH559 was givenH5414 her to takeH935 with her from the haremH1004H802 to the king’sH4428 palaceH1004. 14In the eveningH6153 she would goH935 in and in the morningH1242 she would returnH7725 to the secondH8145 haremH1004H802, to the 2custodyH3027 of ShaashgazH8190, the king’sH4428 eunuchH5631 who was in chargeH8104 of the concubinesH6370. She would not againH5750 goH935 in to the kingH4428 unlessH3588H518 the kingH4428 delightedH2654 in her and she was summonedH7121 by nameH8034.
15Now when the turnH8447 of EstherH635, 3the daughterH1323 of AbihailH32 the uncleH1730 of MordecaiH4782 whoH834 had takenH3947 her as his daughterH1323, cameH5060 to goH935 in to the kingH4428, she did not requestH1245 anythingH1697 exceptH3588H518 whatH834 4HegaiH1896, the king’sH4428 eunuchH5631 who was in chargeH8104 of the womenH802, 5advisedH559. And EstherH635 foundH5375 favorH2580 in the eyesH5869 of allH3605 who sawH7200 her. 16So EstherH635 was takenH3947 to KingH4428 AhasuerusH325 to his royalH4438 palaceH1004 in the tenthH6224 monthH2320 whichH1931 is the monthH2320 TebethH2887, in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of his reignH4438.
17The kingH4428 lovedH157 EstherH635 moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 the womenH802, and she foundH5375 favorH2580 and kindnessH2617 with him moreH4480 thanH4480 allH3605 the virginsH1330, so that 6he setH7760 the royalH4438 crownH3804 on her headH7218 and madeH4427 her queenH4427 insteadH8478 of VashtiH2060.
