Esther 2:1-6

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>_;
Who had been carried away
<01540> (8717)
from Jerusalem
<03389>
with the captivity
<01473>
which had been carried away
<01540> (8717)
with Jeconiah
<03204>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
whom Nebuchadnezzar
<05019>
the king
<04428>
of Babylon
<0894>
had carried away
<01540> (8689)_.
{Jeconiah: also called, Jehoiachin}
