Esther 2:9 in Context — Esther 2
7 Il élevait Hadassa, qui est Esther, fille de son oncle; car elle n’avait ni père ni mère. La jeune fille était belle de taille et belle de figure. A la mort de son père et de sa mère, Mardochée l’avait adoptée pour fille.
8 Lorsqu’on eut publié l’ordre du roi et son édit, et qu’un grand nombre de jeunes filles furent rassemblées à Suse, la capitale, sous la surveillance d’Hégaï, Esther fut aussi prise et conduite dans la maison du roi, sous la surveillance d’Hégaï, gardien des femmes.
9 La jeune fille lui plut, et trouva grâce devant lui; il s’empressa de lui fournir les choses nécessaires pour sa toilette et pour sa subsistance, lui donna sept jeunes filles choisies dans la maison du roi, et la plaça avec ses jeunes filles dans le meilleur appartement de la maison des femmes.
10 Esther ne fit connaître ni son peuple ni sa naissance, car Mardochée lui avait défendu d’en parler.
11 Et chaque jour Mardochée allait et venait devant la cour de la maison des femmes, pour savoir comment se portait Esther et comment on la traitait.
