Esther 2:15

2:15 When it became the turn of Esther daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai (who had raised her as if she were his own daughter¹) to go to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai the king’s eunuch, who was overseer of the women, had recommended. Yet Esther met with the approval of all who saw her.

Esther 2:17

Context
2:17 And the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she met with his loving approval² more than all the other young women.³ So he placed the royal high turban on her head and appointed her queen⁴ in place of Vashti.

¹tn Heb “who had taken her to him as a daughter”; NRSV “who had adopted her as his own daughter.”

²tn Heb “grace and loyal love.” The expression is probably a hendiadys.

³tc The LXX does not include the words “more than all the other young women.”

⁴tn Heb “caused her to rule.”
