Esther 2:18-20
18Then the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 unto all his princesH8269 and his servantsH5650, even Esther’sH635 feastH4960; and he madeH6213 a releaseH2010 to the provincesH4082, and gaveH5414 giftsH4864, according to the stateH3027 of the kingH4428.1
19And when the virginsH1330 were gathered togetherH6908 the second timeH8145, then MordecaiH4782 satH3427 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179.
20EstherH635 had not yet shewedH5046 her kindredH4138 nor her peopleH5971; as MordecaiH4782 had chargedH6680 her: for EstherH635 didH6213 the commandmentH3982 of MordecaiH4782, like as when she was brought upH545 with him.
