Esther 2:2 (KJV) King James Version

1 After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
3 And let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the palace, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hege the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their things for purification be given them:
4 And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.
5 Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;
6 Who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captivity which had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
7 And he brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid was fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
8 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.
10 Esther had not shewed her people nor her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not shew it.
11 And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
12 Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.
14 In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
15 Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
16 So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king's gate.
20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.
21 In those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those which kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther certified the king thereof in Mordecai's name.
23 And when inquisition was made of the matter, it was found out; therefore they were both hanged on a tree: and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.
1 After H310 these H428 things, H1697 when the wrath H2534 of king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 was appeased, H7918 he remembered H2142 H853 Vashti, H2060 and what H834 she had done, H6213 and what H834 was decreed H1504 against H5921 her.
2 Then said H559 the king's H4428 servants H5288 that ministered H8334 unto him , Let there be fair H2896 H4758 young H5291 virgins H1330 sought H1245 for the king: H4428
3 And let the king H4428 appoint H6485 officers H6496 in all H3605 the provinces H4082 of his kingdom, H4438 that they may gather together H6908 H853 all H3605 the fair H2896 H4758 young H5291 virgins H1330 unto H413 Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to H413 the house H1004 of the women, H802 unto H413 the custody H3027 of Hege H1896 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 keeper H8104 of the women; H802 and let their things for purification H8562 be given H5414 them :
4 And let the maiden H5291 which H834 pleaseth H3190 H5869 the king H4428 be queen H4427 instead H8478 of Vashti. H2060 And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the king; H4428 and he did H6213 so. H3651
5 Now in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 there was H1961 a certain H376 Jew, H3064 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; H1145
6 Who H834 had been carried away H1540 from Jerusalem H4480 H3389 with H5973 the captivity H1473 which H834 had been carried away H1540 with H5973 Jeconiah H3204 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had carried away. H1540
7 And he brought up H1961 H539 H853 Hadassah, H1919 that H1931 is , Esther, H635 his uncle's H1730 daughter: H1323 for H3588 she had neither H369 father H1 nor mother, H517 and the maid H5291 was fair H3303 H8389 and beautiful H2896 H4758 ; whom Mordecai, H4782 when her father H1 and mother H517 were dead, H4194 took H3947 for his own daughter. H1323
8 So it came to pass, H1961 when the king's H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 was heard, H8085 and when many H7227 maidens H5291 were gathered together H6908 unto H413 Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to H413 the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 that Esther H635 was brought H3947 also unto H413 the king's H4428 house, H1004 to H413 the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 keeper H8104 of the women. H802
9 And the maiden H5291 pleased H3190 H5869 him , and she obtained H5375 kindness H2617 of H6440 him ; and he speedily H926 gave H5414 her H853 her things for purification, H8562 with H854 such things as belonged H4490 to her , and seven H7651 maidens, H5291 which were meet H7200 to be given H5414 her , out of the king's house H4480 H1004: H4428 and he preferred H8138 her and her maids H5291 unto the best H2896 place of the house H1004 of the women. H802
10 Esther H635 had not H3808 showed H5046 H853 her people H5971 nor her kindred: H4138 for H3588 Mordecai H4782 had charged H6680 her H5921 that H834 she should not H3808 show H5046 it .
11 And Mordecai H4782 walked H1980 every day H3605 H3117 H3117 before H6440 the court H2691 of the women's H802 house, H1004 to know how Esther H635 did, H7965 and what H4100 should become H6213 of her.
12 Now when every maid H5291 H5291 's turn H8447 was come H5060 to go in H935 to H413 king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 after that H4480 H7093 she had been H1961 twelve H8147 H6240 months, H2320 according to the manner H1881 of the women, H802 ( for H3588 so H3651 were the days H3117 of their purifications H4795 accomplished, H4390 to wit , six H8337 months H2320 with oil H8081 of myrrh, H4753 and six H8337 months H2320 with sweet odors, H1314 and with other things for the purification H8562 of the women; H802 )
13 Then thus H2088 came H935 every maiden H5291 unto H413 the king; H4428 H853 whatsoever H3605 H834 she desired H559 was given H5414 her to go H935 with H5973 her out of the house H4480 H1004 of the women H802 unto H5704 the king's H4428 house. H1004
14 In the evening H6153 she H1931 went, H935 and on the morrow H1242 she H1931 returned H7725 into H413 the second H8145 house H1004 of the women, H802 to H413 the custody H3027 of Shaashgaz, H8190 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 which kept H8104 the concubines: H6370 she came in H935 unto H413 the king H4428 no H3808 more, H5750 except H3588 H518 the king H4428 delighted H2654 in her , and that she were called H7121 by name. H8034
15 Now 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 for his daughter, H1323 was come H5060 to go in H935 unto H413 the king, H4428 she required H1245 nothing H3808 H1697 but H3588 H518 H853 what H834 Hegai H1896 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 the keeper H8104 of the women, H802 appointed. H559 And Esther H635 obtained H1961 H5375 favor H2580 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 them that looked H7200 upon her.
16 So Esther H635 was taken H3947 unto H413 king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 into H413 his house H1004 royal H4438 in the tenth H6224 month, H2320 which H1931 is the month H2320 Tebeth, H2887 in the seventh H7651 year H8141 of his reign. H4438
17 And the king H4428 loved H157 H853 Esther H635 above all H4480 H3605 the women, H802 and she obtained H5375 grace H2580 and favor H2617 in his sight H6440 more than all H4480 H3605 the virgins; H1330 so that he set H7760 the royal H4438 crown H3804 upon her head, H7218 and made her queen H4427 instead H8478 of Vashti. H2060
18 Then the king H4428 made H6213 a great H1419 feast H4960 unto all H3605 his princes H8269 and his servants, H5650 even H853 Esther's H635 feast; H4960 and he made H6213 a release H2010 to the provinces, H4082 and gave H5414 gifts, H4864 according to the state H3027 of the king. H4428
19 And when the virgins H1330 were gathered together H6908 the second time, H8145 then Mordecai H4782 sat H3427 in the king's H4428 gate. H8179
20 Esther H635 had not H369 yet showed H5046 her kindred H4138 nor her people; H5971 as H834 Mordecai H4782 had charged H6680 her: H5921 for Esther H635 did H6213 the commandment H3982 of Mordecai, H4782 like as H834 when she was H1961 brought up H545 with H854 him.
21 In those H1992 days, H3117 while Mordecai H4782 sat H3427 in the king's H4428 gate, H8179 two H8147 of the king's H4428 chamberlains, H5631 Bigthan H904 and Teresh, H8657 of those which kept H4480 H8104 the door, H5592 were wroth, H7107 and sought H1245 to lay H7971 hand H3027 on the king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325
22 And the thing H1697 was known H3045 to Mordecai, H4782 who told H5046 it unto Esther H635 the queen; H4436 and Esther H635 certified H559 the king H4428 thereof in Mordecai's H4782 name. H8034
23 And when inquisition was made H1245 of the matter, H1697 it was found out; H4672 therefore they were both H8147 hanged H8518 on H5921 a tree: H6086 and it was written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 before H6440 the king. H4428
