Esther 2:17 in Context — Esther 2
15 Lorsque son tour d’aller vers le roi fut arrivé, Esther, fille d’Abichaïl, oncle de Mardochée qui l’avait adoptée pour fille, ne demanda que ce qui fut désigné par Hégaï, eunuque du roi et gardien des femmes. Esther trouvait grâce aux yeux de tous ceux qui la voyaient.
16 Esther fut conduite auprès du roi Assuérus, dans sa maison royale, le dixième mois, qui est le mois de Tébeth, la septième année de son règne.
17 Le roi aima Esther plus que toutes les autres femmes, et elle obtint grâce et faveur devant lui plus que toutes les autres jeunes filles. Il mit la couronne royale sur sa tête, et la fit reine à la place de Vasthi.
18 Le roi donna un grand festin à tous ses princes et à ses serviteurs, un festin en l’honneur d’Esther; il accorda du repos aux provinces, et fit des présents avec une libéralité royale.
19 La seconde fois qu’on assembla les jeunes filles, Mardochée était assis à la porte du roi.
