Esther 2:16
2:16 Then Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus at his royal residence in the tenth
month (that is, the month of Tebeth) in the seventh
year of his reign.
Esther 6:8
6:8 let them bring royal attire which the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden – one bearing the royal insignia!
Esther 5:1
Esther Appeals to the King for Help
5:1 It so happened that on the third day Esther put on her royal attire and stood in the inner court of the palace, opposite the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the palace, opposite the entrance.
Esther 1:2
1:2 In those days, as King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne in Susa
the citadel,
Esther 1:7
1:7 Drinks
were served in golden containers, all of which differed from one another. Royal wine was available in abundance at the king’s expense.
Esther 1:9
1:9 Queen Vashti
also gave a banquet for the women in King Ahasuerus’ royal palace.
Esther 1:19
1:19 If the king is so inclined,
let a royal edict go forth from him, and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media that cannot be repealed,
that Vashti
may not come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king convey her royalty to another
who is more deserving than she.
Esther 1:4
1:4 He displayed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor of his majestic greatness for a lengthy period of time – a hundred and eighty days, to be exact!
Esther 1:11
1:11 to bring Queen Vashti into the king’s presence wearing her royal high turban. He wanted to show the people and the officials her beauty, for she was very attractive.
Esther 1:20
1:20 And let the king’s decision which he will enact be disseminated
throughout all his kingdom, vast though it is.
Then all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the most prominent to the lowly.”
Esther 5:3
5:3 The king said to her, “What is on your mind, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even as much as half the kingdom will be given to you!”
Esther 5:6
5:6 While at the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your request? It shall be given to you. What is your petition? Ask for as much as half the kingdom,
and it shall be done!”
Esther 8:15
8:15 Now Mordecai went out from the king’s presence in purple and white royal attire, with a large golden crown and a purple linen mantle. The city of Susa shouted with joy.
Esther 9:30
9:30 Letters were sent
to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven provinces of the empire of Ahasuerus – words of true peace
–
Esther 1:14
1:14 Those who were closest to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan. These men were the seven officials of Persia and Media who saw the king on a regular basis
and had the most prominent offices
in the kingdom.
Esther 2:3
2:3 And let the king appoint officers throughout all the provinces of his kingdom to gather all the attractive young women to Susa the citadel, to the harem
under the authority of Hegai, the king’s eunuch who oversees the women, and let him provide whatever cosmetics they desire.
Esther 2:17
2:17 And the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she met with his loving approval
more than all the other young women.
So he placed the royal high turban on her head and appointed her queen
in place of Vashti.
Esther 3:6
3:6 But the thought of striking out against
Mordecai alone was repugnant to him, for he had been informed
of the identity of Mordecai’s people.
So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews (that is, the people of Mordecai)
who were in all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
Esther 3:8
3:8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a particular people that is dispersed and spread among the inhabitants throughout all the provinces of your kingdom whose laws differ from those of all other peoples. Furthermore, they do not observe the king’s laws. It is not appropriate for the king to provide a haven for them.
Esther 4:14
4:14 “Don’t imagine that because you are part of the king’s household you will be the one Jew
who will escape. If you keep quiet at this time, liberation and protection for the Jews will appear
from another source,
while you and your father’s household perish. It may very well be
that you have achieved royal status
for such a time as this!”
Esther 7:2
7:2 On the second day of the banquet of wine the king asked Esther, “What is your request, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your petition? Ask up to half the kingdom, and it shall be done!”
