Esther 2:18-20

Tree of Life Version

¹⁸ Then the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his princes and servants. He proclaimed a holiday for the provinces and distributed gifts in keeping with the king’s wealth.

¹⁹ When the virgins were assembled a second time, Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate. ²⁰ Esther had not yet made known her lineage or her people, just as Mordecai had told her. Esther continued to follow Mordecai’s instructions as she had done when he was bringing her up.
