17 And the king loved Esther more than all the women, and she won his favor and loyalty more than all the virgins, so he put a royal crown[a] on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. 18 And the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his officials and servants. And he granted a tax amnesty[b] to the provinces and he gave gifts with royal liberality.
