Esther 2:8-11

8SoH3947 it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the king’sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 was heardH8085, and when manyH7227 maidensH5291 were gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 unto Shushan the palaceH1004, to the custodyH3027 of HegaiH1896, that EstherH635 was takenH3947 intoH413 the king’sH4428 houseH1004, to the custodyH3027 of HegaiH1896, keeperH8104 of the womenH802.

9And the maiden pleasedH3190 him, and sheH2896 obtainedH5375 kindnessH2617 of him; and he speedily gaveH5414 herH802 herH802 things for purification, with herH802 portionsH4490, and the sevenH7651 maidensH5291, whichH5869 were meetH6440 to be givenH5414 herH802, outH6440 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004: and he removedH5375 herH802 and herH802 maidensH5291 to the bestH2896 placeH5414 of the houseH1004 of the womenH802.

10EstherH635 had notH3808 shewed herH5046 peopleH5971 norH3808 herH5046 kindredH4138: for MordecaiH4782 had chargedH6680 herH5046 that sheH834 should notH3808 shew it.

11And MordecaiH4782 walkedH1980 everyH3605 dayH3117 beforeH6440 the courtH2691 of the women’s houseH1004, to knowH3045 howH4100 EstherH635 didH6213, and whatH4100 should becomeH1980 of herH3605.
