Esther 2:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ And the king loved Esther above all the women; and she found grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set the crown of the kingdom upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

¹⁸ Then the king made a great feast for all his princes and his servants (which was the “Feast of Esther”) and gave rest to the provinces, and gifts, according to the power of a king.

¹⁹ And when the virgins were gathered a second time, then Mordecai sat in the king’s gate.
