A Plot Against The King

18 The king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants and Esther. He gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a release (amnesty) (day of rest) to the provinces, and gave wealth from his store. 19 When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting at the king’s gate. 20 Esther had still said nothing of her family or her people, as Mordecai had given her orders. Esther did what Mordecai said, as when she was living with him.
