Esther 2:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 ¶ So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the [a]month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
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 unto all his princes, and his servants, which was [b]the feast of Esther, and gave rest [c]unto the provinces, and gifts, according to the [d]power of a king.
