12 When Mordecai was informed of what Esther said,
13 he 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.’
14 If you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows? Perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.
15 Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai:
16 Go, gather all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.
17 So Mordecai went away and did everything Esther had instructed him to do.
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.
9 Hathach returned and reported Mordecai’s message to Esther.
10 Then Esther instructed Hathach to respond to Mordecai.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.'
4 The king asked, "Who is in the courtyard?" Now Haman had just entered the outer courtyard of the king’s palace to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
5 The king’s servants said to him, "Haman is standing in the courtyard." The king said, "Let him come in."
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."
13 But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
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.
5 King Ahasuerus asked Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is the one who has dared to do this?"
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.
13 Then the king consulted the wise men who understood the times, for it was the king's custom to speak before all who understood law and judgment.
3 Then the king's servants who were at the gate asked Mordecai, "Why do you transgress the king's command?"
14 While they were still talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman away to the banquet Esther had prepared.
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.
12 Then these men came as a group and found Daniel petitioning and pleading before his God.
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.
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.
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.
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.
15 Now I have come to speak this word to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, 'I will speak to the king—perhaps the king will grant the request of his servant.
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.'
