Brenton's Septuagint (LXX) - Holy Name KJV

 5:1 ¶ And it came to pass on the third day, when she had ceased praying, that she put off her mean dress, and put on her glorious apparel. And being splendidly arrayed, [and] having called upon God the Overseer and Preserver of all things, she took her two maids, and she leaned upon one, as a delicate female, and the other followed bearing her train. And she [was] blooming in the perfection of her beauty; and her face [was] cheerful, and [it were] benevolent, but her heart [was] straitened for fear. And having passed through all the doors, she stood before the king: and he was sitting upon his royal throne, and he had put on all his glorious apparel, [covered] all over with gold and precious stones, and was very terrible. And having raised his face resplendent with glory, he looked with intense anger: and the queen fell, and changed her colour as she fainted; and she bowed herself upon the head of the maid that went before [her]. But God changed the spirit of the king gentleness, and in intense feeling he sprang from off his throne, and took her into his arms, until she recovered: and he comforted her with peaceable words, and said to her, What is [the matter], Esther? I [am] thy brother; be of good cheer, thou shalt not die, for our command is openly declared [to thee], Draw nigh.

 5:1 ¶ Now it came to pass° on the third° day,° that Esther° put on°° [her] royal° [apparel], and stood°° in the inner° court° of the king's° house,° over against° the king's° house:° and the king° sat°° upon° his royal° throne° in the royal° house,° over against° the gate° of the house.°

 5:2 And having raised the golden sceptre he laid it upon her neck, and embraced her, and said, Speak to me. And she said to him, I saw thee, [my] lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy glory; for thou, [my] lord, art to be wondered at, and thy face [is] full of grace. And while she was speaking, she fainted and fell. Then the king was troubled, and all his servants comforted her.

 5:2 And it was° so, when the king° saw°°° Esther° the queen° standing°° in the court,° [that] she obtained°° favour° in his sight:° and the king° held out°° to Esther°° the golden° sceptre° that° [was] in his hand.° So Esther° drew near,°° and touched°° the top° of the sceptre.°

 5:3 And the king said, What wilt thou, Esther? and what is thy request? [ask] even to the half of my kingdom, and it shall be thine.

 5:3 Then said°° the king° unto her, What° wilt thou, queen° Esther?° and what° [is] thy request?° it shall be even given°° thee to° the half° of the kingdom.°

 5:4 And Esther said, To-day is my great day: if then it seem good to the king, let both him and Haman{gr.Aman} come to the feast which I will prepare this day.

 5:4 And Esther° answered,°° If° [it seem] good°° unto° the king,° let the king° and Haman° come°° this day° unto° the banquet° that° I have prepared°° for him.

 5:5 And the king said, Hasten Haman{gr.Aman} hither, that we may perform the word of Esther. So they both come to the feast of which Esther had spoken.

 5:5 Then the king° said,°° Cause° Haman° to make haste,°° that he may do°°° as Esther° hath said.° So the king° and Haman° came°° to° the banquet° that° Esther° had prepared.°°

 5:6 ¶ And at the banquet the king said to Esther, What is [thy request], queen Esther? [speak], and thou shalt have all that thou requirest.

 5:6 ¶ And the king° said°° unto Esther° at the banquet° of wine,° What° [is] thy petition?° and it shall be granted°° thee: and what° [is] thy request?° even to° the half° of the kingdom° it shall be performed.°°

 5:7 And she said, My request and my petition [are]:

 5:7 Then answered°° Esther,° and said,°° My petition° and my request° [is];

 5:8 if I have found favour in the sight of the king, let the king and Haman{gr.Aman} come again to-morrow to the feast which I shall prepare for them, and to-morrow I will do the same.

 5:8 If° I have found°° favour° in the sight° of the king,° and if° it please°°° the king° to grant°°° my petition,° and to perform°°° my request,° let the king° and Haman° come°° to° the banquet° that° I shall prepare°° for them, and I will do°° to morrow° as the king° hath said.°

 5:9 ¶ So Haman{gr.Aman} went out from the king very glad [and] merry: but when Haman{gr.Aman} saw Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} the Jew in the court, he was greatly enraged.

 5:9 ¶ Then went°° Haman° forth°°° that° day° joyful° and with a glad° heart:° but when Haman° saw°°° Mordecai° in the king's° gate,° that he stood not up,°°° nor° moved°° for° him,° he° was full°° of indignation° against° Mordecai.°

 5:10 And having gone into his own house, he called his friends, and his wife Zosara.

 5:10 Nevertheless Haman° refrained°° himself:° and when he came°°° home,° he sent°° and called°° for° his friends,°° and Zeresh° his wife.°

 5:11 And he shewed them his wealth, and the glory with which the king had invested him, and how he had caused him to take precedence and bear chief rule in the kingdom.

 5:11 And Haman° told°° them of° the glory° of his riches,° and the multitude° of his children,° and all° [the things] wherein° the king° had promoted°° him, and how° he had advanced°° him above° the princes° and servants° of the king.°

 5:12 And Haman{gr.Aman} said, The queen has called no one to the feast with the king but me, and I am invited to-morrow.

 5:12 Haman° said°° moreover,° Yea, Esther° the queen° did let no° man come in°° with° the king° unto° the banquet° that° she had prepared°° but°° myself; and to morrow° am I° invited°° unto her also° with° the king.°

 5:13 But these things please me not, while I see Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} the Jew in the court.

 5:13 Yet all° this° availeth°° me nothing,° so long°° as° I° see°°° Mordecai° the Jew° sitting°° at the king's° gate.°

 5:14 ¶ And Zosara his wife and his friends said to him, Let there be a gallows made for thee of fifty cubits, and in the morning do thou speak to the king, and let Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} be hanged on the gallows: but do thou go in to the feast with the king, and be merry. And the saying pleased Haman{gr.Aman}, and the gallows was prepared.

 5:14 ¶ Then said°° Zeresh° his wife° and all° his friends°° unto him, Let a gallows° be made°° of fifty° cubits° high,° and to morrow° speak°° thou unto the king° that° Mordecai° may be hanged°° thereon:° then go°° thou in merrily° with° the king° unto° the banquet.° And the thing° pleased°°° Haman;° and he caused°° the gallows° to be made.°°
