Esther 2:14-23

In the evening
<06153>
she went
<0935> (8802)_,
and on the morrow
<01242>
she returned
<07725> (8802)
into the second
<08145>
house
<01004>
of the women
<0802>_,
to the custody
<03027>
of Shaashgaz
<08190>_,
the king's
<04428>
chamberlain
<05631>_,
which kept
<08104> (8802)
the concubines
<06370>_:
she came in
<0935> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
no more, except the king
<04428>
delighted
<02654> (8804)
in her, and that she were called
<07121> (8738)
by name
<08034>_.
Now when the turn
<08447>
of Esther
<0635>_,
the daughter
<01323>
of Abihail
<032>
the uncle
<01730>
of Mordecai
<04782>_,
who had taken
<03947> (8804)
her for his daughter
<01323>_,
was come
<05060> (8687)
to go in
<0935> (8800)
unto the king
<04428>_,
she required
<01245> (8765)
nothing
<01697>
but what Hegai
<01896>
the king's
<04428>
chamberlain
<05631>_,
the keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the women
<0802>_,
appointed
<0559> (8799)_.
And Esther
<0635>
obtained
<05375> (8802)
favour
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of all them that looked
<07200> (8802)
upon her.
So Esther
<0635>
was taken
<03947> (8735)
unto king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>
into his house
<01004>
royal
<04438>
in the tenth
<06224>
month
<02320>_,
which [is] the month
<02320>
Tebeth
<02887>_,
in the seventh
<07651>
year
<08141>
of his reign
<04438>_.
And the king
<04428>
loved
<0157> (8799)
Esther
<0635>
above all the women
<0802>_,
and she obtained
<05375> (8799)
grace
<02580>
and favour
<02617>
in his sight
<06440>
more than all the virgins
<01330>_;
so that he set
<07760> (8799)
the royal
<04438>
crown
<03804>
upon her head
<07218>_,
and made her queen
<04427> (8686)
instead of Vashti
<02060>_.
{favour: or, kindness} {in his...: Heb. before him}
Then the king
<04428>
made
<06213> (8799)
a great
<01419>
feast
<04960>
unto all his princes
<08269>
and his servants
<05650>_,
[even] Esther's
<0635>
feast
<04960>_;
and he made
<06213> (8804)
a release
<02010>
to the provinces
<04082>_,
and gave
<05414> (8799)
gifts
<04864>_,
according to the state
<03027>
of the king
<04428>_.
{release: Heb. rest}
And when the virgins
<01330>
were gathered together
<06908> (8736)
the second time
<08145>_,
then Mordecai
<04782>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in the king's
<04428>
gate
<08179>_.
Esther
<0635>
had not [yet] shewed
<05046> (8688)
her kindred
<04138>
nor her people
<05971>_;
as Mordecai
<04782>
had charged
<06680> (8765)
her: for Esther
<0635>
did
<06213> (8802)
the commandment
<03982>
of Mordecai
<04782>_,
like as when she was brought up
<0545>
with him.
In those days
<03117>_,
while Mordecai
<04782>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in the king's
<04428>
gate
<08179>_,
two
<08147>
of the king's
<04428>
chamberlains
<05631>_,
Bigthan
<0904>
and Teresh
<08657>_,
of those which kept
<08104> (8802)
the door
<05592>_,
were wroth
<07107> (8804)_,
and sought
<01245> (8762)
to lay
<07971> (8800)
hand
<03027>
on the king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>_.
{Bigthan: also called, Bigthana} {the door: Heb. the threshold}
And the thing
<01697>
was known
<03045> (8735)
to Mordecai
<04782>_,
who told
<05046> (8686)
[it] unto Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>_;
and Esther
<0635>
certified
<0559> (8799)
the king
<04428>
[thereof] in Mordecai's
<04782>
name
<08034>_.
And when inquisition
<01245> (8792)
was made of the matter
<01697>_,
it was found out
<04672> (8735)_;
therefore they were both
<08147>
hanged
<08518> (8735)
on a tree
<06086>_:
and it was written
<03789> (8735)
in the book
<05612>
of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_.
