Esther 2:17 in Context — Esther 2
15 Chegando, pois, a vez de Ester, filha de Abiail, tio de Mardoqueu (que e havia tinha tomado por filha), para vir ao rei, nenhuma coisa pediu a não ser o que Hegai eunuco do rei, vigilante das mulheres, havia dito; e Ester alcançava o favor aos olhos de todos quantos a viam.
16 Assim Ester foi levada ao rei Assuero a sua casa real no décimo mês, que é o mês de Tebete, no sétimo ano de seu reinado.
17 E o rei amou a Ester mais que todas as mulheres, e alcançou diante dele favor e benevolência mais que todas as virgens; e ele pôs a coroa real em sua cabeça, e a fez rainha em lugar de Vasti.
18 Então o rei fez um grande banquete a todos seus príncipes e servos, o banquete de Ester; e deu repouso às províncias, e deu presentes, conforme a generosidade do rei.
19 E quando as virgens se ajuntaram pela segunda vez, Mardoqueu estava sentado à porta do rei.
