1Now it happened aon the third day, that Esther put on her royal robes and stood bin the inner court of the king’s house in front of the king’s 1rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the 2throne room, opposite the entrance to his house.

2Now it happened that when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, ashe advanced in favor in his eyes; and bthe king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and 1reached out and touched the top of the scepter.
