    12Now when every maid's turn had come to go in to King Ahasuerus, after she had completed twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for thus were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)

    13Then thus came every maiden to the king; whatever she desired was given to her to go with her from the house of the women to the king's house.

    14In the evening she went, and in the morning she returned to the second house of the women, under the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the concubines: she came to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.

    15Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all who looked upon her.

    16So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

    17And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins; so he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

    9And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, suitable to be given to her, from the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids to the best place of the house of the women.

    4So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told her. Then the queen was exceedingly grieved, and she sent garments to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackcloth from him, but he would not accept them.

    5Then Esther called for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend to her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what this was and why it was.

    6So Hatach went out to Mordecai in the street of the city, in front of the king's gate.

    7And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and of the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

    8Also he gave him a copy of the written decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to show it to Esther and explain it to her, and to charge her to go to the king, to plead with him and make a request before him for her people.

    9And Hatach came and reported Mordecai's words to Esther.

    10Again Esther spoke to Hatach, and gave him a command for Mordecai:

    11All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that anyone, whether man or woman, who comes to the king in the inner court without being called, there is but one law to put him to death, unless the king holds out the golden scepter so that he may live. But I have not been called to come to the king these thirty days.

    12And they told Mordecai Esther's words.

    13Then Mordecai instructed them to reply to Esther, "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's house more than all the Jews.
