Esther 2
AfterH310 these thingsH1697, when the wrathH2534 of kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 was pacifiedH7918, he rememberedH2142 VashtiH2060, and what she had doneH6213, and what was decreedH1504 against her.
Then saidH559 the king'sH4428 servantsH5288 that ministeredH8334 unto him, Let there be fairH2896 youngH5291 virginsH1330 soughtH1245 for the kingH4428:
and let the kingH4428 appointH6485 officersH6496 in all the provincesH4082 of his kingdomH4438, that they may gather togetherH6908 all the fairH2896 youngH5291 virginsH1330 unto ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002, to the houseH1004 of the womenH802, unto the custodyH3027 of HegaiH1896 the king'sH4428 chamberlainH5631, keeperH8104 of the womenH802; and let their things for purificationH8562 be givenH5414 them;
and let the maidenH5291 that pleasethH3190 the kingH4428 be queenH4427 instead of VashtiH2060. And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190 the kingH4428; and he did soH6213.
There was a certainH376 JewH3064 in ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002, whose nameH8034 was MordecaiH4782, the sonH1121 of JairH2971, the sonH1121 of ShimeiH8096, the sonH1121 of KishH7027, a BenjamiteH1145,
who had been carried awayH1540 from JerusalemH3389 with the captivesH1473 that had been carried awayH1540 with JeconiahH3204 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, whom NebuchadnezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried awayH1540.
And he brought upH539 HadassahH1919, that is, EstherH635, his uncle'sH1730 daughterH1323: for she had neither fatherH1 nor motherH517, and the maidenH5291 was fairH3303 and beautifulH2896; and when her fatherH1 and motherH517 were deadH4194, MordecaiH4782 tookH3947 her for his own daughterH1323.
So it came to pass, when the king'sH4428 commandmentH1697 and his decreeH1881 was heardH8085, and when manyH7227 maidensH5291 were gathered togetherH6908 unto ShushanH7800 the palaceH1002, to the custodyH3027 of HegaiH1896, that EstherH635 was takenH3947 into the king'sH4428 houseH1004, to the custodyH3027 of HegaiH1896, keeperH8104 of the womenH802.
And the maidenH5291 pleasedH3190 him, and she obtainedH5375 kindnessH2617 of himH6440; and he speedilyH926 gaveH5414 her her things for purificationH8562, with her portionsH4490, and the sevenH7651 maidensH5291 who were meetH7200 to be givenH5414 her out of the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and he removedH8138 her and her maidensH5291 to the bestH2896 place of the houseH1004 of the womenH802.
EstherH635 had not made knownH5046 her peopleH5971 nor her kindredH4138; for MordecaiH4782 had chargedH6680 her that she should not make it knownH5046.
And MordecaiH4782 walkedH1980 every dayH3117 beforeH6440 the courtH2691 of the women'sH802 houseH1004, to knowH3045 how EstherH635 didH7965, and what would becomeH6213 of her.
Now when the turnH8447 of every maidenH5291 was comeH5060 to goH5060 inH935 to kingH4428 AhasuerusH325, afterH7093 that it had been done to her according to the lawH1881 for the womenH802 twelveH8147 monthsH2320 (for so were the daysH3117 of their purificationsH4795 accomplishedH4390, to wit, sixH8337 monthsH2320 with oilH8081 of myrrhH4753, and sixH8337 monthsH2320 with sweet odorsH1314 and with the things for the purifyingH8562 of the womenH802),
then in this wise cameH935 the maidenH5291 unto the kingH4428: whatsoever she desiredH559 was givenH5414 her to goH935 with her out of the houseH1004 of the womenH802 unto the king'sH4428 houseH1004.
In the eveningH6153 she wentH935, and on the morrowH1242 she returnedH7725 into the secondH8145 houseH1004 of the womenH802, to the custodyH3027 of ShaashgazH8190, the king'sH4428 chamberlainH5631, who keptH8104 the concubinesH6370: she came inH935 unto the kingH4428 no more, except the kingH4428 delightedH2654 in her, and she were calledH7121 by nameH8034.
Now when the turnH8447 of EstherH635, the daughterH1323 of AbihailH32 the uncleH1730 of MordecaiH4782, who had takenH3947 her for his daughterH1323, was comeH5060 to go inH935 unto the kingH4428, she requiredH1245 nothingH1697 but what HegaiH1896 the king'sH4428 chamberlainH5631, the keeperH8104 of the womenH802, appointedH559. And EstherH635 obtainedH5375 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of all them that lookedH7200 upon her.
So EstherH635 was takenH3947 unto kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 into his houseH1004 royalH4438 in the tenthH6224 monthH2320, which is the monthH2320 TebethH2887, in the seventhH7651 yearH8141 of his reignH4438.
And the kingH4428 lovedH157 EstherH635 above all the womenH802, and she obtainedH5375 favorH2580 and kindnessH2580 in his sightH6440 more than all the virginsH1330; so that he setH7760 the royalH4438 crownH3804 upon her headH7218, and made her queenH4427 instead of VashtiH2060.
Then 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 bountyH3027 of the kingH4428.
And when the virginsH1330 were gathered togetherH6908 the second timeH8145, then MordecaiH4782 was sittingH3427 in the king'sH4428 gateH8179.
EstherH635 had not yet made knownH5046 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.
In those daysH3117, while MordecaiH4782 was sittingH3427 in the king'sH4428 gateH8179, twoH8147 of the king'sH4428 chamberlainsH5631, BigthanH904 and TereshH8657, of those that keptH8104 the thresholdH5592, were wrothH7107, and soughtH1245 to layH7971 handsH3027 on the kingH4428 AhasuerusH325.
And the thingH1697 became knownH3045 to MordecaiH4782, who showedH5046 it unto EstherH635 the queenH4436; and EstherH635 toldH559 the kingH4428 thereof in Mordecai'sH4782 nameH8034.
And when inquisitionH1245 was made of the matterH1697, and it was found to be soH4672, they were bothH8147 hangedH8518 on a treeH6086: and it was writtenH3789 in the bookH5612 of the chroniclesH1697 beforeH6440 the kingH4428.
