After
H1697
these things
H2534
, when the wrath
H4428
of king
H325
Ahasuerus
H7918
was appeased
[H8800]
H2142
, he remembered
[H8804]
H2060
Vashti
H6213
, and what she had done
[H8804]
H1504
, and what was decreed
[H8738]
against her.
2
H559
Then said
[H8799]
H4428
the king's
H5288
servants
H8334
that ministered
[H8764]
H2896
unto him, Let there be fair
H4758
H5291
young
H1330
virgins
H1245
sought
[H8762]
H4428
for the king:
3
H4428
And let the king
H6485
appoint
[H8686]
H6496
officers
H4082
in all the provinces
H4438
of his kingdom
H6908
, that they may gather together
[H8799]
H2896
all the fair
H4758
H5291
young
H1330
virgins
H7800
unto Shushan
H1002
the palace
H1004
, to the house
H802
of the women
H3027
, unto the custody
H1896
of Hege
H4428
the king's
H5631
chamberlain
H8104
, keeper
[H8802]
H802
of the women
H8562
; and let their things for purification
H5414
be given
[H8800]
them :
4
H5291
And let the maiden
H3190
which pleaseth
[H8799]
H5869
H4428
the king
H4427
be queen
[H8799]
H2060
instead of Vashti
H1697
. And the thing
H3190
pleased
[H8799]
H5869
H4428
the king
H6213
; and he did so
[H8799]
.
5
H7800
Now in Shushan
H1002
the palace
H376
there was a certain
H3064
Jew
H8034
, whose name
H4782
was Mordecai
H1121
, the son
H2971
of Jair
H1121
, the son
H8096
of Shimei
H1121
, the son
H7027
of Kish
H1145
, a Benjamite;
6
H1540
Who had been carried away
[H8717]
H3389
from Jerusalem
H1473
with the captivity
H1540
which had been carried away
[H8717]
H3204
with Jeconiah
H4428
king
H3063
of Judah
H5019
, whom Nebuchadnezzar
H4428
the king
H894
of Babylon
H1540
had carried away
[H8689]
.
7
H539
And he brought up
[H8802]
H1919
Hadassah
H635
, that is, Esther
H1730
, his uncle's
H1323
daughter
H1
: for she had neither father
H517
nor mother
H5291
, and the maid
H3303
was fair
H8389
H2896
and beautiful
H4758
H4782
; whom Mordecai
H1
, when her father
H517
and mother
H4194
were dead
H3947
, took
[H8804]
H1323
for his own daughter.
8
H4428
So it came to pass, when the king's
H1697
commandment
H1881
and his decree
H8085
was heard
[H8736]
H7227
, and when many
H5291
maidens
H6908
were gathered together
[H8736]
H7800
unto Shushan
H1002
the palace
H3027
, to the custody
H1896
of Hegai
H635
, that Esther
H3947
was brought
[H8735]
H4428
also unto the king's
H1004
house
H3027
, to the custody
H1896
of Hegai
H8104
, keeper
[H8802]
H802
of the women.
9
H5291
And the maiden
H3190
pleased
[H8799]
H5869
H5375
him, and she obtained
[H8799]
H2617
kindness
H6440
of him
H926
; and he speedily
[H8762]
H5414
gave
[H8800]
H8562
her her things for purification
H4490
, with such things as belonged
H7651
to her, and seven
H5291
maidens
H7200
, which were meet
[H8803]
H5414
to be given
[H8800]
H4428
her, out of the king's
H1004
house
H8138
: and he preferred
[H8762]
H5291
her and her maids
H2896
unto the best
H1004
place of the house
H802
of the women.
10
H635
Esther
H5046
had not shewed
[H8689]
H5971
her people
H4138
nor her kindred
H4782
: for Mordecai
H6680
had charged
[H8765]
H5046
her that she should not shew
[H8686]
it .
11
H4782
And Mordecai
H1980
walked
[H8693]
H3117
every day
H6440
before
H2691
the court
H802
of the women's
H1004
house
H3045
, to know
[H8800]
H635
how Esther
H7965
did
H6213
, and what should become
[H8735]
of her.
12
H5291
Now when every maid's
H8447
turn
H5060
was come
[H8687]
H935
to go in
[H8800]
H4428
to king
H325
Ahasuerus
H7093
, after
H8147
that she had been twelve
H6240
H2320
months
H1881
, according to the manner
H802
of the women
H3117
, (for so were the days
H4795
of their purifications
H4390
accomplished
[H8799]
H8337
, to wit, six
H2320
months
H8081
with oil
H4753
of myrrh
H8337
, and six
H2320
months
H1314
with sweet odours
H8562
, and with other things for the purifying
H802
of the women;)
13
H935
Then thus came
[H8802]
H5291
every maiden
H4428
unto the king
H559
; whatsoever she desired
[H8799]
H5414
was given
[H8735]
H935
her to go
[H8800]
H1004
with her out of the house
H802
of the women
H4428
unto the king's
H1004
house.
14
H6153
In the evening
H935
she went
[H8802]
H1242
, and on the morrow
H7725
she returned
[H8802]
H8145
into the second
H1004
house
H802
of the women
H3027
, to the custody
H8190
of Shaashgaz
H4428
, the king's
H5631
chamberlain
H8104
, which kept
[H8802]
H6370
the concubines
H935
: she came in
[H8799]
H4428
unto the king
H4428
no more, except the king
H2654
delighted
[H8804]
H7121
in her, and that she were called
[H8738]
H8034
by name.
15
H8447
Now when the turn
H635
of Esther
H1323
, the daughter
H32
of Abihail
H1730
the uncle
H4782
of Mordecai
H3947
, who had taken
[H8804]
H1323
her for his daughter
H5060
, was come
[H8687]
H935
to go in
[H8800]
H4428
unto the king
H1245
, she required
[H8765]
H1697
nothing
H1896
but what Hegai
H4428
the king's
H5631
chamberlain
H8104
, the keeper
[H8802]
H802
of the women
H559
, appointed
[H8799]
H635
. And Esther
H5375
obtained
[H8802]
H2580
favour
H5869
in the sight
H7200
of all them that looked
[H8802]
upon her.
16
H635
So Esther
H3947
was taken
[H8735]
H4428
unto king
H325
Ahasuerus
H1004
into his house
H4438
royal
H6224
in the tenth
H2320
month
H2320
, which is the month
H2887
Tebeth
H7651
, in the seventh
H8141
year
H4438
of his reign.
17
H4428
And the king
H157
loved
[H8799]
H635
Esther
H802
above all the women
H5375
, and she obtained
[H8799]
H2580
grace
H2617
and favour
H6440
in his sight
H1330
more than all the virgins
H7760
; so that he set
[H8799]
H4438
the royal
H3804
crown
H7218
upon her head
H4427
, and made her queen
[H8686]
H2060
instead of Vashti.
18
H4428
Then the king
H6213
made
[H8799]
H1419
a great
H4960
feast
H8269
unto all his princes
H5650
and his servants
H635
, even Esther's
H4960
feast
H6213
; and he made
[H8804]
H2010
a release
H4082
to the provinces
H5414
, and gave
[H8799]
H4864
gifts
H3027
, according to the state
H4428
of the king.
19
H1330
And when the virgins
H6908
were gathered together
[H8736]
H8145
the second time
H4782
, then Mordecai
H3427
sat
[H8802]
H4428
in the king's
H8179
gate.
20
H635
Esther
H5046
had not yet shewed
[H8688]
H4138
her kindred
H5971
nor her people
H4782
; as Mordecai
H6680
had charged
[H8765]
H635
her: for Esther
H6213
did
[H8802]
H3982
the commandment
H4782
of Mordecai
H545
, like as when she was brought up with him.
21
H3117
In those days
H4782
, while Mordecai
H3427
sat
[H8802]
H4428
in the king's
H8179
gate
H8147
, two
H4428
of the king's
H5631
chamberlains
H904
, Bigthan
H8657
and Teresh
H8104
, of those which kept
[H8802]
H5592
the door
H7107
, were wroth
[H8804]
H1245
, and sought
[H8762]
H7971
to lay
[H8800]
H3027
hand
H4428
on the king
H325
Ahasuerus.
