15 When it was Esther’s turn—the daughter of Abihail, the uncle of Mordecai who had adopted her as his own daughter—to go to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, recommended. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.
16 Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she won his favor and kindness more than any of the other virgins. So he placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Then the king held a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and servants. He also declared a holiday for the provinces and distributed gifts with royal generosity.
19 When the virgins were gathered a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate.
20 Esther had still not revealed her family background or her people, just as Mordecai had instructed her. She continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had when he was raising her.
21 During those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s eunuchs who guarded the entrance, became angry and plotted to assassinate King Ahasuerus.
22 When Mordecai learned about the plot, he informed Queen Esther, and she reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai.
7 Mordecai was the guardian of Hadassah, also known as Esther, the daughter of his uncle, because she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was beautiful in form and appearance. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her in as his own daughter.
8 When the king’s command and decree were heard, and many young women were gathered to the citadel of Susa under the custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken to the king’s palace and placed under the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.
9 The young woman pleased him and gained his favor. So he promptly provided her with beauty treatments and her portion of food, along with seven chosen young women from the king’s palace. He moved her and her attendants to the best place in the harem.
10 Esther had not revealed her people or her family background because Mordecai had commanded her not to do so.
11 Every day, Mordecai walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her.
12 When it was the turn of each young woman to go to King Ahasuerus, after completing twelve months of beauty treatments as prescribed—the six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and cosmetics for women—
13 the young woman would go to the king, and she was given whatever she requested to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.
1 After these events, when King Ahasuerus’s anger had subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.
2 Then the king’s attendants said, "Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king.
3 Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom to gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem under the custody of Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, and let them be given beauty treatments.
4 Then the young woman who pleases the king will become queen in place of Vashti." This proposal pleased the king, and he acted accordingly.
14 The closest advisers to the king were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who had access to the king's presence and held the highest positions in the kingdom.
15 The king asked, 'According to the law, what is to be done with Queen Vashti for not obeying the command of King Ahasuerus conveyed through the eunuchs?'
16 Memucan responded in the presence of the king and the officials, 'Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the officials and all the peoples in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.'
17 For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women, causing them to look down on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus ordered Queen Vashti to be brought before him, but she did not come.'
18 Today the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard about the queen's actions will say the same to all the king's officials, leading to much contempt and anger.
19 If it pleases the king, let a royal decree be issued, written in the laws of Persia and Media which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Ahasuerus. Also, let the king give her royal position to someone who is better than she.
9 Queen Vashti also held a banquet for the women in the royal palace of King Ahasuerus.
10 On the seventh day, when the king was in high spirits from the wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,
11 to bring Queen Vashti before the king wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and officials, for she was very beautiful.
12 But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. The king became furious, and his anger burned within him.
1 On the third day, Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner courtyard of the king’s palace, facing the king's hall. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the hall, directly across from the entrance.
2 As soon as the king saw Queen Esther standing in the courtyard, she found favor in his eyes. The king extended to Esther the gold scepter that was in his hand, so Esther approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
12 And Haman said, "What’s more, Queen Esther invited no one but me to accompany the king to the banquet she prepared. And I am invited again to dine with her and the king tomorrow."
9 Hathach returned and reported Mordecai’s message to Esther.
10 Then Esther instructed Hathach to respond to Mordecai.
11 ‘All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for anyone—man or woman—who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned, there is one law: they are to be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter, allowing them to live. But I have not been summoned to come to the king for thirty days.’
12 When Mordecai was informed of what Esther said,
7 The king, filled with wrath, got up from the wine banquet and went out to the palace garden. But Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king had already decided his doom.
8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the house of the wine banquet, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. The king exclaimed, "Will he even assault the queen in my own house?" As the words left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.
5 Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs appointed to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet Esther had prepared.
1 The king and Haman came to drink with Queen Esther.
2 On the second day, during the wine banquet, the king said to Esther, "What is your request, Queen Esther? It will be granted to you. And what is your petition? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be done."
1 On that day, King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the estate of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came into the king’s presence because Esther had revealed how he was related to her.
2 The king removed his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther appointed Mordecai over Haman’s estate.
2 At that time, King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne in the citadel of Susa.
4 Esther replied, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for him."
4 The king extended the golden scepter to Esther, so she arose and stood before the king.
5 She said, 'If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor in his sight, and if the matter seems right to the king, and if I am pleasing in his eyes, let a decree be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews in all the king’s provinces.'
8 If I have found favor in the king’s eyes and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet I will prepare for them tomorrow. Then I will answer the king’s question."
