Esther 2:1-5

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>_,

when the wrath
<02534>

of king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

was appeased
<07918> (8800)_,

he remembered
<02142> (8804)

Vashti
<02060>_,

and what she had done
<06213> (8804)_,

and what was decreed
<01504> (8738)

against her.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

servants
<05288>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto him, Let there be fair
<02896> <04758>

young
<05291>

virgins
<01330>

sought
<01245> (8762)

for the king
<04428>_:

And let the king
<04428>

appoint
<06485> (8686)

officers
<06496>

in all the provinces
<04082>

of his kingdom
<04438>_,

that they may gather together
<06908> (8799)

all the fair
<02896> <04758>

young
<05291>

virgins
<01330>

unto Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

to the house
<01004>

of the women
<0802>_,

unto the custody
<03027>

of Hege
<01896>

the king's
<04428>

chamberlain
<05631>_,

keeper
<08104> (8802)

of the women
<0802>_;

and let their things for purification
<08562>

be given
<05414> (8800)

[them]: {unto the...: Heb. unto the hand} {Hege: also called, Hegai}

And let the maiden
<05291>

which pleaseth
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the king
<04428>

be queen
<04427> (8799)

instead of Vashti
<02060>_.

And the thing
<01697>

pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>

the king
<04428>_;

and he did so
<06213> (8799)_.

[Now] in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>

there was a certain
<0376>

Jew
<03064>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Mordecai
<04782>_,

the son
<01121>

of Jair
<02971>_,

the son
<01121>

of Shimei
<08096>_,

the son
<01121>

of Kish
<07027>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>_;
