5 Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was (A)Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, 6 (B)who had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the captives who had been exiled with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had exiled. 7 He was bringing up Hadassah, that is (C)Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and [a]face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
