bes@Esther:1:18 @ so this day shall the other ladies of the chiefs of the Persians and Medes, having heard what she said to the king, dare in the same way to dishonour their husbands.

bes@Esther:1:19 @ If then it seem good to the king, let him make a royal decree, and let it be written according to the laws of the Medes and Persians, and let him not alter it: and let not the queen come in to him any more; and let the king give her royalty to a woman better than she.

bes@Esther:1:20 @ And let the law of the king which he shall have made, be widely proclaimed, in his kingdom: and so shall all the women give honour to their husbands, from the poor even to the rich.

bes@Esther:2:2 @ Then the servants of the king said, Let there be sought for the king chaste and beautiful young virgins.

bes@Esther:2:3 @ And let the king appoint local governors in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them select fair and chaste young damsels and bring them to the city Susa, into the women’s apartment, and let them be consigned to the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women; and let things for purification and other attendance be given to them.

bes@Esther:2:4 @ And let the woman who shall please the king be queen instead of Astin. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

bes@Esther:2:5 @ Now there was a Jew in the city Susa, and his name was Mardochaeus, the son of Jairus, the son of Semeias, the son of Cisaeus, of the tribe of Benjamin;

bes@Esther:2:6 @ who had been brought a prisoner from Jerusalem, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had carried into captivity.

bes@Esther:2:7 @ And he had a foster child, daughter of Aminadab his father’s brother, and her name was Esther; and when her parents were dead, he brought her up for a wife for himself: and the damsel was beautiful.

bes@Esther:2:8 @ And because the king’s ordinance was published, many damsels were gathered to the city Susa under the hand of Gai; and Esther was brought to Gai the keeper of the women.

bes@Esther:2:9 @ And the damsel pleased him, and she found favour in his sight; and he hasted to give her the things for purification, and her portion, and the seven maidens appointed her out of the palace: and he treated her and her maidens well in the women’s apartment.

bes@Esther:2:11 @ But Mardochaeus used to walk every day by the women’s court, to see what would become of Esther.

bes@Esther:2:12 @ Now this was the time for a virgin to go into the king, when she should have fulfilled twelve months; for so are the days of purification fulfilled, six months while they are anointing themselves with oil of myrrh, and six months with spices and women’s purifications.

bes@Esther:2:13 @ And then the damsel goes in to the king; and the officer to whomsoever he shall give the command, will bring her to come in with him from the women’s apartment to the king’s chamber.

bes@Esther:2:14 @ She enters in the evening, and in the morning she departs to the second women’s apartment, where Gai the king’s chamberlain is keeper of the women: and she goes not in to the king again, unless she should be called by name.

bes@Esther:2:15 @ And when the time. was fulfilled for Esther the daughter of Aminadab the brother of Mardochaeus’ father to go in to the king, she neglected nothing which the chamberlain, the women’s keeper, commanded; for Esther found grace in the sight of all that looked upon her.

bes@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther went in to king Artaxerxes in the twelfth month, which is Adar, in the seventh year of his reign.

bes@Esther:2:18 @ And the king made a banquet for all his friends and great men for seven days, and he highly celebrated the marriage of Esther; and he made a release to those who were under his dominion.

bes@Esther:2:20 @ Now Esther had not discovered her (note:)Gr. country(:note) kindred; for so Mardochaeus commanded her, to fear God, and perform his commandments, as when she was with him: and Esther changed not her manner of life.

bes@Esther:2:21 @ And two chamberlains of the king, the chiefs of the body-guard, were grieved, because Mardochaeus was promoted; and they sought to kill king Artaxerxes.

bes@Esther:2:22 @ And the matter was discovered to Mardochaeus, and he made it known to Esther, and she declared to the king the matter of the conspiracy.

bes@Esther:2:23 @ And the king examined the two chamberlains, and hanged them: and the king gave orders to make a note for a memorial in the royal (note:)Gr. library(:note) records of the good offices of Mardochaeus, as a commendation.

bes@Esther:3:1 @ And after this king Artaxerxes highly honoured Aman son of Amadathes, the Bugaean, and exalted him, and set his seat above all his friends.

bes@Esther:3:3 @ And they in the king’s palace said to Mardochaeus, Mardochaeus, why dost thou transgress the commands of the king?

bes@Esther:3:4 @ Thus they spoke daily to him, but he hearkened not unto them; so they represented to Aman that Mardochaeus resisted the commands of the king: and Mardochaeus had shewn to them that he was a Jew.

bes@Esther:3:6 @ and took counsel to destroy utterly all the Jews who were under the rule of Artaxerxes.

bes@Esther:3:7 @ And he made a (note:)Gr. vote by ballot(:note) decree in the twelfth year of the reign of Artaxerxes, and cast lots daily and monthly, to slay in one day the race of Mardochaeus: and the lot fell on the fourteenth day of the month which is Adar.

bes@Esther:3:8 @ And he spoke to king Artaxerxes, saying, There is a nation scattered among the nations in all thy kingdom, and their laws differ from those of all the other nations; and they disobey the laws of the king; and it is not expedient for the king to let them alone.

bes@Esther:3:9 @ If it seem good to the king, let him make a decree to destroy them: and I will remit into the king’s treasury ten thousand talents of silver.

bes@Esther:3:10 @ And the king took off his ring, and gave it into the hands of Aman, to seal the decrees against the Jews.

bes@Esther:3:12 @ So the king’s recorders were called in the first month, on the thirteenth day, and they wrote as Aman commanded to the captains and governors in every province, from India even to Ethiopia, to a hundred and twenty-seven provinces; and to the rulers of the nations according to their several languages, in the name of king Artaxerxes.

bes@Esther:3:13 @ And the message was sent by posts throughout the kingdom of Artaxerxes, to destroy utterly the race of the Jews on the first day of the twelfth month, which is Adar, and to plunder their goods. (note:)LXX text not in Hebrews. has been left out.(:note)

bes@Esther:3:14 @ And the copies of the letters were published in every province; and an order was given to all the nations to be ready against that day.

bes@Esther:4:1 @ But Mardochaeus having perceived what was done, rent his garments, and put on sackcloth, and sprinkled dust upon himself; and having rushed forth through the open street of the city, he cried with a loud voice, A nation that has done no wrong is going to be destroyed.

bes@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province where the letters were published, there was crying and lamentation and great mourning on the part of the Jews: they spread for themselves sackcloth and ashes.

bes@Esther:4:7 @ And Mardochaeus shewed him what was done, and the promise which Aman had made the king of ten thousand talents to be paid into the treasury, that he might destroy the Jews.

bes@Esther:4:8 @ And he gave him the copy of the writing that was published in Susa concerning their destruction, to shew to Esther; and told him to charge her to go in and intreat the king, and to beg him for the people, remembering, said he, the days of thy low estate, how thou wert nursed by my hand: because Aman who holds the next place to the king has spoken against us for death. Do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king concerning us, to deliver us from death.

bes@Esther:4:11 @ All the nations of the empire know, that whoever, man or woman, shall go in to the king into the inner court uncalled, that person cannot live: only to whomsoever the king shall stretch out his golden sceptre, he shall live: and I have not been called to go into the king, for these thirty days.

bes@Esther:4:12 @ And Achrathaeus reported to Mardochaeus all the words of Esther.

bes@Esther:5:2 @ And having raised the golden sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to me. (note:)(5:2AA)(:note) And she said to him, I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy glory; for thou, my lord, art to be wondered at, and thy face is full of grace. (5:2B) And while she was speaking, she fainted and fell. Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.

bes@Esther:5:3 @ And the king said, What wilt thou, Esther? and what is thy request? ask even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be thine.

bes@Esther:5:5 @ And the king said, Hasten Aman hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.

bes@Esther:5:8 @ if I have found favour in the sight of the king, let the king and Aman come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.

And the saying pleased Aman, and the gallows was prepared.

bes@Esther:6:1 @ But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the (note:)Gr. letters(:note) books, the registers of daily events, to read to him.

bes@Esther:6:2 @ And he found the (note:)Gr. letters(:note) records written concerning Mardochaeus, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes.

bes@Esther:6:4 @ And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mardochaeus, behold, Aman was in the court. And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Aman was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mardochaeus on the gallows, which he had prepared.

bes@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Aman, Thou hast well said: so do to Mardochaeus the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected.

bes@Esther:6:11 @ So Aman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mardochaeus, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour.

bes@Esther:6:13 @ And Aman related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to his friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, (note:)Or, if it be M. etc., before whom(:note) If Mardochaeus be of the race of the Jews, and thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God is with him.

bes@Esther:7:2 @ And the king said to Esther at the banquet on the second day, What is it, queen Esther? and what is thy request, and what is thy petition? and it shall be done for thee, to the half of my kingdom.

bes@Esther:7:3 @ And she answered and said, If I have found favour in the sight of the king, let my life be granted to my petition, and my people to my request.

bes@Esther:7:4 @ For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; both we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the (note:)See. Hebrews.(:note) slanderer is not worthy of the king’s palace.

bes@Esther:7:9 @ And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochaeus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman.

bes@Esther:8:3 @ And she spoke yet again to the king, and fell at his feet, and besought him to do away the mischief of Aman, and all that he had done against the Jews.

bes@Esther:8:5 @ And Esther said, If it seem good to thee, and I have found favour in thy sight, let an order be sent that the letters sent by Aman may be reversed, that were written for the destruction of the Jews, who are in thy kingdom.
