nsb@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia:

nsb@Esther:1:2 @ When King Ahasuerus was ruling in Shushan, his strong town,

nsb@Esther:1:9 @ Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.

nsb@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presences of King Ahasuerus.

nsb@Esther:1:15 @ »By law, what is to be done to Vashti the queen? She has not done what King Ahasuerus ordered her to do.«

nsb@Esther:1:16 @ Before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: »Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but also to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus.

nsb@Esther:1:17 @ »For news of what the queen has done will come to the attention of all women. They will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, ‘King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she did not come.’

nsb@Esther:1:18 @ »The wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and anger.

nsb@Esther:1:19 @ »If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him. Let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed. That Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus. Let the king give her place to another who is better than she.

nsb@Esther:2:12 @ Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus. After undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean.

nsb@Esther:2:16 @ Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in his house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.

nsb@Esther:2:21 @ In those days, while Mordecai was seated at the king's gate two of the king's servants, Bigthan and Teresh, keepers of the gate, being angry, looked for a chance to attack King Ahasuerus.

nsb@Esther:3:6 @ But it was not enough for him to attack Mordecai only. They made clear to him who Mordecai's people were. So Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

nsb@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, the month Nissan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, from day to day and from month to month they went on looking for a sign given by Pur that is chance before Haman, till the sign came out for the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.

nsb@Esther:3:8 @ Haman said to King Ahasuerus, »There is a nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom. Their laws are different from those of any other nation. They do not keep the king's laws. For this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.

nsb@Esther:3:12 @ Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were summoned. They put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people. It was to be for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs. It was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.

nsb@Esther:5:8 @ »‘If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast that I will make ready for them. Tomorrow I will do as the king has said.’«

nsb@Esther:6:3 @ The king said: »What honor and reward have been given to Mordecai for this?« The servants waiting on the king said: »Nothing has been done for him.«

nsb@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in. And the king said to him: »What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honoring?« Then the thought came into Haman's mind, whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honoring?

nsb@Esther:6:7 @ Haman answered: »For the man whom the king has delight in honoring,

nsb@Esther:6:9 @ »And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honoring. Let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him. So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honoring.«

nsb@Esther:6:11 @ Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him: »So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honoring.«

nsb@Esther:7:5 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen: »Who is he and where is he who has had this evil thought in his heart?«

nsb@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew: »See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.

nsb@Esther:8:10 @ The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:

nsb@Esther:8:12 @ On one day in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, that is, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.

nsb@Esther:9:2 @ On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them. Everyone had to give way before them. All the people feared them.

nsb@Esther:9:13 @ Then Esther said: »If it is the king's pleasure, let authority be given to the Jews in Shushan to do tomorrow as has been done today, and let orders be given for the hanging of Haman's ten sons.«

nsb@Esther:9:20 @ Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, near and far.

nsb@Esther:9:30 @ He sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,

nsb@Esther:10:1 @ King Ahasuerus put a tax on the land and on the islands of the sea.

nsb@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus. He was great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen. He worked for the good of his people. He said words of peace to all his descendents.

nsb@Job:1:11 @ »Now suppose you take away everything he has. He will curse you to your face!«

nsb@Job:1:12 @ »All right,« Jehovah said to Satan, »everything he has is in your power, but you must not hurt Job!« So Satan left.
