Esther 2:20

2:20

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.

Esther 3:1

3:1

After
<0310>

these things
<01697>

did king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>

promote
<01431> (8765)

Haman
<02001>

the son
<01121>

of Hammedatha
<04099>

the Agagite
<091>_,

and advanced
<05375> (8762)

him, and set
<07760> (8799)

his seat
<03678>

above all the princes
<08269>

that [were] with him.

Esther 3:6

3:6

And he thought
<05869>

scorn
<0959> (8799)

to lay
<07971> (8800)

hands
<03027>

on Mordecai
<04782>

alone; for they had shewed
<05046> (8689)

him the people
<05971>

of Mordecai
<04782>_:

wherefore Haman
<02001>

sought
<01245> (8762)

to destroy
<08045> (8687)

all the Jews
<03064>

that [were] throughout the whole kingdom
<04438>

of Ahasuerus
<0325>_,

[even] the people
<05971>

of Mordecai
<04782>_.

Esther 4:1

4:1

When Mordecai
<04782>

perceived
<03045> (8804)

all that was done
<06213> (8738)_,

Mordecai
<04782>

rent
<07167> (8799)

his clothes
<0899>_,

and put on
<03847> (8799)

sackcloth
<08242>

with ashes
<0665>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)

into the midst
<08432>

of the city
<05892>_,

and cried
<02199> (8799)

with a loud
<01419>

and a bitter
<04751>

cry
<02201>_;

Esther 4:7-8

4:7

And Mordecai
<04782>

told
<05046> (8686)

him of all that had happened
<07136> (8804)

unto him, and of the sum
<06575>

of the money
<03701>

that Haman
<02001>

had promised
<0559> (8804)

to pay
<08254> (8800)

to the king's
<04428>

treasuries
<01595>

for the Jews
<03064>_,

to destroy
<06> (8763)

them.

4:8

Also he gave
<05414> (8804)

him the copy
<06572>

of the writing
<03791>

of the decree
<01881>

that was given
<05414> (8738)

at Shushan
<07800>

to destroy
<08045> (8687)

them, to shew
<07200> (8687)

[it] unto Esther
<0635>_,

and to declare
<05046> (8687)

[it] unto her, and to charge
<06680> (8763)

her that she should go in
<0935> (8800)

unto the king
<04428>_,

to make supplication
<02603> (8692)

unto him, and to make request
<01245> (8763)

before
<06440>

him for her people
<05971>_.

Esther 5:2

5:2

And it was so, when the king
<04428>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

standing
<05975> (8802)

in the court
<02691>_,

[that] she obtained
<05375> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in his sight
<05869>_:

and the king
<04428>

held out
<03447> (8686)

to Esther
<0635>

the golden
<02091>

sceptre
<08275>

that [was] in his hand
<03027>_.

So Esther
<0635>

drew near
<07126> (8799)_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the top
<07218>

of the sceptre
<08275>_.

Esther 5:8

5:8

If I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of the king
<04428>_,

and if it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>

to grant
<05414> (8800)

my petition
<07596>_,

and to perform
<06213> (8800)

my request
<01246>_,

let the king
<04428>

and Haman
<02001>

come
<0935> (8799)

to the banquet
<04960>

that I shall prepare
<06213> (8799)

for them, and I will do
<06213> (8799)

to morrow
<04279>

as the king
<04428>

hath said
<01697>_.

{perform: Heb. do}

Esther 6:10

6:10

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Haman
<02001>_,

Make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

[and] take
<03947> (8798)

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

even so to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

at the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_:

let nothing
<01697>

fail
<05307> (8686)

of all that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

{let...: Heb. suffer not a whit to fall}

Esther 8:3

8:3

And Esther
<0635>

spake
<01696> (8762)

yet again
<03254> (8686)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

at
<06440>

his feet
<07272>_,

and besought
<02603> (8691)

him with tears
<01058> (8799)

to put away
<05674> (8687)

the mischief
<07451>

of Haman
<02001>

the Agagite
<091>_,

and his device
<04284>

that he had devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>_.

{and besought...: Heb. and she wept, and besought him}

Wherein the king
<04428>

granted
<05414> (8804)

the Jews
<03064>

which [were] in every city
<05892>

to gather themselves together
<06950> (8736)_,

and to stand
<05975> (8800)

for their life
<05315>_,

to destroy
<08045> (8687)_,

to slay
<02026> (8800)_,

and to cause to perish
<06> (8763)_,

all the power
<02428>

of the people
<05971>

and province
<04082>

that would assault
<06696> (8802)

them, [both] little ones
<02945>

and women
<0802>_,

and [to take] the spoil
<07998>

of them for a prey
<0962> (8800)_,

Esther 9:25

9:25

But when [Esther] came
<0935> (8800)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_,

he commanded
<0559> (8804)

by letters
<05612>

that his wicked
<07451>

device
<04284>_,

which he devised
<02803> (8804)

against the Jews
<03064>_,

should return
<07725> (8799)

upon his own head
<07218>_,

and that he and his sons
<01121>

should be hanged
<08518> (8804)

on the gallows
<06086>_.

{when...: Heb. when she came}
