Esther 2:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Later, King Xerxes stopped being angry. Then he remembered Vashti and what she had done. He remembered his commands about her.
2 Then the king's personal servants had a suggestion. They said, "Search for beautiful young virgins for the king.
3 Let the king choose leaders in every province of his kingdom. Then let the leaders bring every beautiful young virgin to the capital city of Susa. These young women will be put with the group of the king's women. They will be under the care of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women. Then give beauty treatments to all of them.
4 Then let the one who is pleasing to the king become the new queen in Vashti's place." The king liked this suggestion, so he accepted it.
5 Now there was a Jew from the tribe of Benjamin named Mordecai. Mordecai was the son of Jair, and Jair was the son of Shimei, and Shimei was the son of Kish. Mordecai was in the capital city, Susa.
6 Mordecai had been carried into captivity from Jerusalem by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He was with the group that was taken into captivity with King Jehoiachin of Judah.
7 Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah. She didn't have a father or a mother, so Mordecai took care of her. Mordecai had adopted her as his own daughter when her father and mother died. Hadassah was also called Esther. She had a very pretty face and a good figure.
8 When the king's command had been heard, many young women were brought to the capital city of Susa. They were put under the care of Hegai. Esther was one of these women. She was taken to the king's palace and put into Hegai's care. Hegai was in charge of the king's women.
9 He liked Esther. She became his favorite, so he quickly gave Esther beauty treatments and special food. He chose seven slave women from the king's palace and gave them to Esther. Then he moved Esther and her seven women servants into the best place where the king's women lived.
10 Esther didn't tell anyone she was a Jew. She didn't tell anyone about her family background, because Mordecai had told her not to.
11 Every day Mordecai walked back and forth near the area where the king's women lived. He did this because he wanted to find out how Esther was, and what was happening to her.
12 Before a young woman could take her turn to go in before King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments� six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and cosmetics.
13 When her time came to go in to the king, she could choose to wear or take with her whatever she wanted from women's living area.
14 In the evening the young woman would go to the king's palace. And in the morning she would return to another area where the king's women lived. Then she would be placed under the care of a man named Shaashgaz. He was the king's eunuch in charge of the slave women. She would not go back to the king again unless he was pleased with her. Then he would call her by name to come back to him.
15 The time came for Esther to go in to the king. She was the one Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail. All she wanted to take with her was what Hegai, the king's eunuch in charge of the women, suggested. Everyone who saw Esther liked her.
16 So Esther was taken to King Xerxes in the palace. This happened in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his rule.
17 The king loved Esther more than any of the other young women, and she became his favorite. He approved of her more than any of the others. So King Xerxes put a crown on Esther's head and made her the new queen in place of Vashti.
18 And the king gave a big party for Esther. It was for all his important people and leaders. He announced a festival in all the provinces and sent out gifts to people, because he was a generous king.
19 Mordecai was sitting next to the king's gate at the time the young women were gathered together the second time.
20 Esther had still kept it a secret that she was a Jew. She had not told anyone about her family background. This is what Mordecai had told her to do. She still obeyed Mordecai just as she had done when he was taking care of her.
21 During the time Mordecai was sitting next to the king's gate, this happened: Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's officers who guarded the doorway, became angry with the king. They began to make plans to kill King Xerxes.
22 But Mordecai learned about these plans and told Queen Esther. Then she told the king. She also told him that Mordecai was the one who had learned about the evil plan.
23 Then the report was checked out. It was learned that Mordecai's report was true. The two guards who had planned to kill the king were hanged on a post. All these things were written down in a book of the king's histories in front of the king.
1 After H310 these H428 things, H1697 when the wrath H2534 of king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 was appeased, H7918 he remembered H2142 H853 Vashti, H2060 and what H834 she had done, H6213 and what H834 was decreed H1504 against H5921 her.
2 Then said H559 the king's H4428 servants H5288 that ministered H8334 unto him , Let there be fair H2896 H4758 young H5291 virgins H1330 sought H1245 for the king: H4428
3 And let the king H4428 appoint H6485 officers H6496 in all H3605 the provinces H4082 of his kingdom, H4438 that they may gather together H6908 H853 all H3605 the fair H2896 H4758 young H5291 virgins H1330 unto H413 Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to H413 the house H1004 of the women, H802 unto H413 the custody H3027 of Hege H1896 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 keeper H8104 of the women; H802 and let their things for purification H8562 be given H5414 them :
4 And let the maiden H5291 which H834 pleaseth H3190 H5869 the king H4428 be queen H4427 instead H8478 of Vashti. H2060 And the thing H1697 pleased H3190 H5869 the king; H4428 and he did H6213 so. H3651
5 Now in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 there was H1961 a certain H376 Jew, H3064 whose name H8034 was Mordecai, H4782 the son H1121 of Jair, H2971 the son H1121 of Shimei, H8096 the son H1121 of Kish, H7027 a Benjamite; H1145
6 Who H834 had been carried away H1540 from Jerusalem H4480 H3389 with H5973 the captivity H1473 which H834 had been carried away H1540 with H5973 Jeconiah H3204 king H4428 of Judah, H3063 whom H834 Nebuchadnezzar H5019 the king H4428 of Babylon H894 had carried away. H1540
7 And he brought up H1961 H539 H853 Hadassah, H1919 that H1931 is , Esther, H635 his uncle's H1730 daughter: H1323 for H3588 she had neither H369 father H1 nor mother, H517 and the maid H5291 was fair H3303 H8389 and beautiful H2896 H4758 ; whom Mordecai, H4782 when her father H1 and mother H517 were dead, H4194 took H3947 for his own daughter. H1323
8 So it came to pass, H1961 when the king's H4428 commandment H1697 and his decree H1881 was heard, H8085 and when many H7227 maidens H5291 were gathered together H6908 unto H413 Shushan H7800 the palace, H1002 to H413 the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 that Esther H635 was brought H3947 also unto H413 the king's H4428 house, H1004 to H413 the custody H3027 of Hegai, H1896 keeper H8104 of the women. H802
9 And the maiden H5291 pleased H3190 H5869 him , and she obtained H5375 kindness H2617 of H6440 him ; and he speedily H926 gave H5414 her H853 her things for purification, H8562 with H854 such things as belonged H4490 to her , and seven H7651 maidens, H5291 which were meet H7200 to be given H5414 her , out of the king's house H4480 H1004: H4428 and he preferred H8138 her and her maids H5291 unto the best H2896 place of the house H1004 of the women. H802
10 Esther H635 had not H3808 showed H5046 H853 her people H5971 nor her kindred: H4138 for H3588 Mordecai H4782 had charged H6680 her H5921 that H834 she should not H3808 show H5046 it .
11 And Mordecai H4782 walked H1980 every day H3605 H3117 H3117 before H6440 the court H2691 of the women's H802 house, H1004 to know how Esther H635 did, H7965 and what H4100 should become H6213 of her.
12 Now when every maid H5291 H5291 's turn H8447 was come H5060 to go in H935 to H413 king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 after that H4480 H7093 she had been H1961 twelve H8147 H6240 months, H2320 according to the manner H1881 of the women, H802 ( for H3588 so H3651 were the days H3117 of their purifications H4795 accomplished, H4390 to wit , six H8337 months H2320 with oil H8081 of myrrh, H4753 and six H8337 months H2320 with sweet odors, H1314 and with other things for the purification H8562 of the women; H802 )
13 Then thus H2088 came H935 every maiden H5291 unto H413 the king; H4428 H853 whatsoever H3605 H834 she desired H559 was given H5414 her to go H935 with H5973 her out of the house H4480 H1004 of the women H802 unto H5704 the king's H4428 house. H1004
14 In the evening H6153 she H1931 went, H935 and on the morrow H1242 she H1931 returned H7725 into H413 the second H8145 house H1004 of the women, H802 to H413 the custody H3027 of Shaashgaz, H8190 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 which kept H8104 the concubines: H6370 she came in H935 unto H413 the king H4428 no H3808 more, H5750 except H3588 H518 the king H4428 delighted H2654 in her , and that she were called H7121 by name. H8034
15 Now when the turn H8447 of Esther, H635 the daughter H1323 of Abihail H32 the uncle H1730 of Mordecai, H4782 who H834 had taken H3947 her for his daughter, H1323 was come H5060 to go in H935 unto H413 the king, H4428 she required H1245 nothing H3808 H1697 but H3588 H518 H853 what H834 Hegai H1896 the king's H4428 chamberlain, H5631 the keeper H8104 of the women, H802 appointed. H559 And Esther H635 obtained H1961 H5375 favor H2580 in the sight H5869 of all H3605 them that looked H7200 upon her.
16 So Esther H635 was taken H3947 unto H413 king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 into H413 his house H1004 royal H4438 in the tenth H6224 month, H2320 which H1931 is the month H2320 Tebeth, H2887 in the seventh H7651 year H8141 of his reign. H4438
17 And the king H4428 loved H157 H853 Esther H635 above all H4480 H3605 the women, H802 and she obtained H5375 grace H2580 and favor H2617 in his sight H6440 more than all H4480 H3605 the virgins; H1330 so that he set H7760 the royal H4438 crown H3804 upon her head, H7218 and made her queen H4427 instead H8478 of Vashti. H2060
18 Then the king H4428 made H6213 a great H1419 feast H4960 unto all H3605 his princes H8269 and his servants, H5650 even H853 Esther's H635 feast; H4960 and he made H6213 a release H2010 to the provinces, H4082 and gave H5414 gifts, H4864 according to the state H3027 of the king. H4428
19 And when the virgins H1330 were gathered together H6908 the second time, H8145 then Mordecai H4782 sat H3427 in the king's H4428 gate. H8179
20 Esther H635 had not H369 yet showed H5046 her kindred H4138 nor her people; H5971 as H834 Mordecai H4782 had charged H6680 her: H5921 for Esther H635 did H6213 the commandment H3982 of Mordecai, H4782 like as H834 when she was H1961 brought up H545 with H854 him.
21 In those H1992 days, H3117 while Mordecai H4782 sat H3427 in the king's H4428 gate, H8179 two H8147 of the king's H4428 chamberlains, H5631 Bigthan H904 and Teresh, H8657 of those which kept H4480 H8104 the door, H5592 were wroth, H7107 and sought H1245 to lay H7971 hand H3027 on the king H4428 Ahasuerus. H325
22 And the thing H1697 was known H3045 to Mordecai, H4782 who told H5046 it unto Esther H635 the queen; H4436 and Esther H635 certified H559 the king H4428 thereof in Mordecai's H4782 name. H8034
23 And when inquisition was made H1245 of the matter, H1697 it was found out; H4672 therefore they were both H8147 hanged H8518 on H5921 a tree: H6086 and it was written H3789 in the book H5612 of the chronicles H1697 before H6440 the king. H4428
