¹⁵ Now when it reached the turn of Esther, ^(A)the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, to go in to the king, she did not seek anything except what ^(B)Hegai, the king’s eunuch who kept charge of the women, said. And Esther advanced in favor in the eyes of all who saw her. ¹⁶ So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal house in the tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

Esther Is Made Queen

¹⁷ And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she advanced in favor and lovingkindness before him more than all the virgins, so that ^(C)he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.
