Esther 2:15-20

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.

18Then the kingH4428 madeH6213 a greatH1419 feastH4960 unto allH3605 his princesH8269 and his servantsH5650, evenH853 Esther’sH635 feastH4960; and he madeH6213 a release to the provincesH4082, and gaveH5414 giftsH4864, accordingH3027 to the bountyH3027 of the kingH4428.

19And when the virginsH1330 were gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 the secondH8145 time, then MordecaiH4782 satH3427 in the king’sH4428 gateH8179.

20EstherH635 had notH369 yet shewed herH5046 kindredH4138 norH369 herH5046 peopleH5971; as MordecaiH4782 had chargedH6680 herH5046: for EstherH635 didH6213 the commandmentH6680 of MordecaiH4782, like as when sheH834 was broughtH1961 upH5921 with him.
