Esther 2:12-17

12NowH1961 when the turnH1961 of everyH3117 maiden was comeH935 to goH935 in to kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, afterH7093 that it had been doneH1961 to herH413 accordingH413 to the lawH1881 for the womenH802, twelveH6240 monthsH2320, (for soH3651 were the daysH3117 of their purifications accomplishedH4390, to wit, sixH8337 monthsH2320 with oilH8081 of myrrhH4753, and sixH8337 monthsH2320 with sweetH1314 odours, and with the things for the purifying of the womenH802,)

13then in this wise cameH935 the maiden unto the kingH4428, whatsoeverH3605 sheH834 desiredH559 was givenH5414 herH3605 to goH935 with herH3605 outH413 of the houseH1004 of the womenH802 unto the king’sH4428 houseH1004.

14In the eveningH6153 sheH1931 wentH935, and on the morrow sheH1931 returnedH7725 intoH413 the secondH8145 houseH1004 of the womenH802, to the custodyH3027 of ShaashgazH8190, the king’sH4428 chamberlain, whichH1931 keptH8104 the concubinesH6370: sheH1931 cameH935 in unto the kingH4428 noH3808 moreH5750, exceptH518 the kingH4428 delighted in herH413, and that sheH1931 were calledH7121 by nameH8034.

15NowH1961 when the turnH1961 of EstherH635, the daughterH1323 of AbihailH32 the uncleH1730 of MordecaiH4782, who had takenH3947 herH3605 for his daughterH1323, was comeH935 to goH935 in unto the kingH4428, sheH834 requiredH1697 nothingH3808 but whatH834 HegaiH1896 the king’sH4428 chamberlain, the keeperH8104 of the womenH802, appointed. And EstherH635 obtainedH5375 favour in the sightH5869 of allH3605 them that lookedH7200 uponH935 herH3605.

16SoH3947 EstherH635 was takenH3947 unto kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 intoH413 his houseH1004 royalH4438 in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, whichH1931 is the monthH2320 TebethH2887, in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of his reignH4438.

17And the kingH4428 lovedH157 EstherH635 aboveH6440 allH3605 the womenH802, and sheH635 obtainedH5375 graceH2580 and favour in his sightH6440 more thanH4428 allH3605 the virginsH1330; soH5375 that he setH7760 the royalH4438 crownH3804 uponH802 herH3605 headH7218, and madeH7760 herH3605 queen insteadH8478 of VashtiH2060.
