Esther 2:18-20

18Then 1the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and his servants; he also made a holiday for the provinces and gave gifts 2in proportion to the king’s bounty.

19 3Now when the virgins were gathered together for the second time, then Mordecai 4was sitting at the king’s gate. 20 5Esther still had not revealed her relatives or her people, just as Mordecai had instructed her; for Esther did 6what Mordecai told her just as she had 7when under his care.
