Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now when the turn of Esther ,
the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai ,
who had taken her for his daughter ,
was come to go in unto the king ,
she required nothing but what Hegai the king '
s chamberlain ,
the keeper of the women ,
appointed .
And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her .
*
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month ,
which is the month Tebeth ,
in the seventh year of his reign .
*
And the king loved Esther above all the women ,
and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins ;
so that he set the royal crown upon her head ,
and made her queen instead of Vashti .
