NASB
""Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti." And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly."
— Esther 2:4, NASB
“And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.”
“and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so. ”
“and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." The thing pleased the king, and he did so.”
“Let the young woman whom the king finds most attractive become queen in place of Vashti.” This seemed like a good idea to the king, so he acted accordingly.”
“And whosoever among them all shall please the king's eyes, let her be queen instead of Vasthi. The word pleased the king: and he commanded it should be done as they had suggested.”
“And let the girl who is pleasing to the king be queen in place of Vashti. And the king was pleased with this suggestion; and he did so.”
“And let the maiden which pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti. And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.”
After these things when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.
Then the king's attendants, who served him, said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.
"Let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let their cosmetics be given them.
"Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti." And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.
Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
who had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the captives who had been exiled with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had exiled.
He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
