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.
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.
14 She 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
3 Then the king asked her, "What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given to you."
4 Esther replied, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for him."
5 The king said, "Bring Haman quickly, so we may do as Esther asks." So the king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared.
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.
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.

4 When 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.
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.
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."
3 Queen Esther replied, "If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it pleases the king, grant me my life—this is my request—and spare my people—this is my petition.
14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet Esther had prepared.
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?'
2 At that time, King Ahasuerus sat on his royal throne in the citadel of Susa.
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
8 He 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.
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.'
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."
29 Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, along with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter concerning Purim.
7 King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, 'Behold, I have given Haman’s estate to Esther, and he has been hanged on the gallows because he attacked the Jews.'
4 The young woman was very beautiful, and she cared for the king and served him, but the king had no intimate relations with her.
