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 ^(A)he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti. ¹⁸ Then ^(B)the king held a great feast, Esther’s feast, for all his princes and his servants; he also held a remission of taxes for the provinces and gave gifts ^(C)according to the king’s hand.

^19 (D)And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai ^(E)was sitting at the king’s gate.
