Esther 2:8-14

So it came to pass, when the king's
<04428>
commandment
<01697>
and his decree
<01881>
was heard
<08085> (8736)_,
and when many
<07227>
maidens
<05291>
were gathered together
<06908> (8736)
unto Shushan
<07800>
the palace
<01002>_,
to the custody
<03027>
of Hegai
<01896>_,
that Esther
<0635>
was brought
<03947> (8735)
also unto the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
to the custody
<03027>
of Hegai
<01896>_,
keeper
<08104> (8802)
of the women
<0802>_.
And the maiden
<05291>
pleased
<03190> (8799) <05869>
him, and she obtained
<05375> (8799)
kindness
<02617>
of him
<06440>_;
and he speedily
<0926> (8762)
gave
<05414> (8800)
her her things for purification
<08562>_,
with such things as belonged
<04490>
to her, and seven
<07651>
maidens
<05291>_,
[which were] meet
<07200> (8803)
to be given
<05414> (8800)
her, out of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_:
and he preferred
<08138> (8762)
her and her maids
<05291>
unto the best
<02896>
[place] of the house
<01004>
of the women
<0802>_.
{such...: Heb. her portions} {preferred: Heb. changed}
Esther
<0635>
had not shewed
<05046> (8689)
her people
<05971>
nor her kindred
<04138>_:
for Mordecai
<04782>
had charged
<06680> (8765)
her that she should not shew
<05046> (8686)
[it].
And Mordecai
<04782>
walked
<01980> (8693)
every day
<03117>
before
<06440>
the court
<02691>
of the women's
<0802>
house
<01004>_,
to know
<03045> (8800)
how Esther
<0635>
did
<07965>_,
and what should become
<06213> (8735)
of her. {to know...: Heb. to know the peace}
Now when every maid's
<05291>
turn
<08447>
was come
<05060> (8687)
to go in
<0935> (8800)
to king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>_,
after
<07093>
that she had been twelve
<08147> <06240>
months
<02320>_,
according to the manner
<01881>
of the women
<0802>_,
(for so were the days
<03117>
of their purifications
<04795>
accomplished
<04390> (8799)_,
[to wit], six
<08337>
months
<02320>
with oil
<08081>
of myrrh
<04753>_,
and six
<08337>
months
<02320>
with sweet odours
<01314>_,
and with [other] things for the purifying
<08562>
of the women
<0802>;)
Then thus came
<0935> (8802)
[every] maiden
<05291>
unto the king
<04428>_;
whatsoever she desired
<0559> (8799)
was given
<05414> (8735)
her to go
<0935> (8800)
with her out of the house
<01004>
of the women
<0802>
unto the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_.
In the evening
<06153>
she went
<0935> (8802)_,
and on the morrow
<01242>
she returned
<07725> (8802)
into the second
<08145>
house
<01004>
of the women
<0802>_,
to the custody
<03027>
of Shaashgaz
<08190>_,
the king's
<04428>
chamberlain
<05631>_,
which kept
<08104> (8802)
the concubines
<06370>_:
she came in
<0935> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
no more, except the king
<04428>
delighted
<02654> (8804)
in her, and that she were called
<07121> (8738)
by name
<08034>_.
