Esther 2:18

Esther Becomes Queen

¹⁷ And the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she met with his loving approval more than all the other young women. So he placed the royal high turban on her head and appointed her queen in place of Vashti. ¹⁸ Then the king prepared a large banquet for all his officials and his servants -- it was actually Esther's banquet. He also set aside a holiday for the provinces, and he provided for offerings at the king's expense. ¹⁹ Now when the young women were being gathered again, Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.
