8When 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.
9The 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.
10Esther had not revealed her people or her family background because Mordecai had commanded her not to do so.
11Every day, Mordecai walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her.
12When 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—
13the 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.
14She would go in the evening, and in the morning she would return to a second harem under the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not go to the king again unless he delighted in her and summoned her by name.
15When 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.
16Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17Now 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.
18Then 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.
19When the virgins were gathered a second time, Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate.
20Esther 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.
1After these events, when King Ahasuerus’s anger had subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.
2Then the king’s attendants said, "Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king.
3Let 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.

1On 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.

22When Mordecai learned about the plot, he informed Queen Esther, and she reported it to the king, giving credit to Mordecai.
7Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasury for the destruction of the Jews.
8He also gave him a copy of the text of the decree issued in Susa for their destruction, so that Hathach could show it to Esther and explain it to her, urging her to go to the king, plead for mercy, and intercede for her people.
9Hathach returned and reported Mordecai’s message to Esther.
10Then Esther instructed Hathach to respond to Mordecai.
4When Esther’s attendants and eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed. She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear so he could remove his sackcloth, but he refused them.

12When Mordecai was informed of what Esther said,
13he sent back this reply to her: ‘Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.’
