English Standard Version
17 the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won grace and favor in his sight more than all the virgins, so that he set (A)the royal crown[a] on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. 18 Then the king (B)gave a great feast for all his officials and servants; it was Esther's feast. He also granted a remission of taxes to the provinces and gave gifts with royal generosity.
