1After^H310 these^H428 things^H1697 when the anger^H2534 of King^H4428 Ahasuerus^H325 had subsided,^H7918 he remembered^H2142 Vashti^H2060 and what^H834 she had done^H6213 and what^H834 had been decreed^H1504 against^H5921 her.
2Then the king^H4428's attendants,^H5288 who served^H8334 him, said,^H559 "Let beautiful^H2896 young^H5291 virgins^H1330 be sought^H1245 for the king.
3"And let the king^H4428 appoint^H6485 overseers^H6496 in all^H3605 the provinces^H4082 of his kingdom^H4438 that they may gather^H6908 every^H3605 beautiful^H2896 young^H5291 virgin^H1330 to Susa^H7800 the capital,^H1002 to the harem,^H1004H802 into the custody^H3027 of Hegai,^H1896 the king's eunuch,^H5631 who was in charge^H8104 of the women;^H802 and let their cosmetics^H8562 be given^H5414 [them.]
4"Then let the young^H5291 lady^H5291 who^H834 pleases^H3190H5869 the king^H4428 be queen^H4427 in place^H8478 of Vashti.^H2060" And the matter^H1697 pleased^H3190H5869 the king,^H4428 and he did^H6213 accordingly.^H3651
5[Now] there was a Jew^H3064 in Susa^H7800 the capital^H1002 whose name^H8034 was Mordecai,^H4782 the son^H1121 of Jair,^H2971 the son^H1121 of Shimei,^H8096 the son^H1121 of Kish,^H7027 a Benjamite,^H376H3228
6who^H834 had been taken^H1540 into exile^H1540 from Jerusalem^H3389 with the captives^H1473 who^H834 had been exiled^H1540 with Jeconiah^H3204 king^H4428 of Judah,^H3063 whom^H834 Nebuchadnezzar^H5019 the king^H4428 of Babylon^H894 had exiled.^H1540
7And he was bringing^H539 up Hadassah,^H1919 that is Esther,^H635 his uncle's daughter,^H1323 for she had^H369 neither^H369 father nor^H1 mother.^H369 Now the young^H517 lady^H5291 was beautiful^H5291 of form^H3303 and face,^H8389 and when her father and her mother^H4758 died,^H1 Mordecai^H517 took^H4194 her as his own daughter.^H4782
8So it came^H1961 about when the command^H1697 and decree^H1881 of the king^H4428 were heard^H8085 and many^H7227 young^H5291 ladies^H5291 were gathered^H6908 to Susa^H7800 the capital^H1002 into the custody^H3027 of Hegai,^H1896 that Esther^H635 was taken^H3947 to the king's palace^H1004 into the custody^H3027 of Hegai,^H1896 who was in charge^H8104 of the women.^H802
9Now the young^H5291 lady^H5291 pleased^H3190H5869 him and found^H5375 favor^H2617 with him. So he quickly^H926 provided^H5414 her with her cosmetics^H8562 and food,^H4490 gave^H5414 her seven^H7651 choice^H7200 maids^H5291 from the king's palace,^H1004 and transferred^H8132 her and her maids^H5291 to the best^H2896 place in the harem.^H1004H802
10Esther^H635 did not make^H5046 known^H5046 her people^H5971 or her kindred,^H4138 for Mordecai^H4782 had instructed^H6680 her that she should not make^H5046 [them] known.^H5046
11And every^H3605 day^H3117 Mordecai^H4782 walked^H1980 back^H1980 and forth in front^H6440 of the court^H2691 of the harem^H1004H802 to learn^H3045 how^H7965 Esther^H635 was and how^H4100 she fared.^H6213
12Now when the turn^H8447 of each^H5291 young^H5291 lady^H5291 came^H5060 to go^H935 in to King^H4428 Ahasuerus,^H325 after^H4480 the end^H7093 of her twelve^H8147H6240 months^H2320 under the regulations^H1881 for the women^H802 – for the days^H3117 of their beautification^H4795 were completed^H4390 as follows:^H3651 six^H8337 months^H2320 with oil^H8081 of myrrh^H4753 and six^H8337 months^H2320 with spices^H1314 and the cosmetics^H8562 for women^H802 –
13the young^H5291 lady^H5291 would go^H935 in to the king^H4428 in this^H2088 way:^H2088 anything^H3605 that she desired^H559 was given^H5414 her to take^H935 with her from the harem^H1004H802 to the king's palace.^H1004
14In the evening^H6153 she would go^H935 in and in the morning^H1242 she would return^H7725 to the second^H8145 harem,^H1004H802 to the custody^H3027 of Shaashgaz,^H8190 the king^H4428's eunuch^H5631 who was in charge^H8104 of the concubines.^H6370 She would not again^H5750 go^H935 in to the king^H4428 unless^H3588H518 the king delighted^H2654 in her and she was summoned^H7121 by name.^H8034
15Now when the turn^H8447 of Esther,^H635 the daughter^H1323 of Abihail^H32 the uncle^H1730 of Mordecai^H4782 who^H834 had taken^H3947 her as his daughter,^H1323 came^H5060 to go^H935 in to the king,^H4428 she did not request^H1245 anything^H1697 except^H3588H518 what^H834 Hegai,^H1896 the king's eunuch^H5631 who was in charge^H8104 of the women,^H802 advised.^H559 And Esther^H635 found^H5375 favor^H2580 in the eyes^H5869 of all^H3605 who saw^H7200 her.
16So Esther^H635 was taken^H3947 to King^H4428 Ahasuerus^H325 to his royal^H4438 palace^H1004 in the tenth^H6224 month^H2320 which^H1931 is the month^H2320 Tebeth,^H2887 in the seventh^H7651 year^H8141 of his reign.^H4438
17And the king^H4428 loved^H157 Esther^H635 more^H4480 than^H4480 all^H3605 the women,^H802 and she found^H5375 favor^H2580 and kindness^H2617 with him more^H4480 than^H4480 all^H3605 the virgins,^H1330 so that he set^H7760 the royal^H4438 crown^H3804 on her head^H7218 and made^H4427 her queen^H4427 instead^H8478 of Vashti.^H2060
18Then the king^H4428 gave^H6213 a great^H1419 banquet,^H4960 Esther's banquet,^H4960 for all^H3605 his princes^H8269 and his servants;^H5650 he also made^H6213 a holiday^H2010 for the provinces^H4082 and gave^H5414 gifts^H4864 according to the king's bounty.^H3027
19And when the virgins^H1330 were gathered^H6908 together the second^H8145 time,^H8145 then Mordecai^H4782 was sitting^H3427 at the king's gate.^H8179
20Esther^H635 had not yet made known^H5046 her kindred^H4138 or her people,^H5971 even^H9201 as Mordecai^H4782 had commanded^H6680 her, for Esther^H635 did^H6213 what^H3982 Mordecai^H4782 told^H5046 her as she had done^H1961 when^H9201 under his care.^H545
21In those^H1992 days,^H3117 while Mordecai^H4782 was sitting^H3427 at the king^H4428's gate,^H8179 Bigthan^H904 and Teresh,^H8657 two^H8147 of the king's officials^H5631 from those who guarded^H8104 the door,^H5592 became^H7107 angry^H7107 and sought^H1245 to lay^H7971 hands^H3027 on King Ahasuerus.^H325
22But the plot^H1697 became known^H3045 to Mordecai,^H4782 and he told^H5046 Queen^H4436 Esther,^H635 and Esther^H635 informed^H559 the king^H4428 in Mordecai's name.^H8034
23Now when the plot^H1697 was investigated^H1245 and found^H4672 [to be so,] they were both^H8147 hanged^H8518 on a gallows;^H6086 and it was written^H3789 in the Book^H5612 of the Chronicles^H1697H3117 in the king's presence.^H6440
