Greek Esther 2:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ When the time was fulfilled for Esther daughter of Aminadab, the brother of Mordecai’s father, to go in to the king, she neglected none of the things that the eunuch in charge of the women had commanded. For Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.^{(A) 16} So Esther went in to King Artaxerxes in the twelfth month, which is Adar, in the seventh year of his reign. ¹⁷ And the king loved Esther passionately, and she found favor beyond all the other virgins, and he put on her the queen’s diadem.^(B)
