Esther 2:14King James Version - American EditionIn the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Sha-ash´gaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name. See the chapter |
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Ab´ihail the uncle of Mor´decai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what He´gai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favor in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live: but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.
