Esther 8:1-3

Living Bible

8 On that same day King Ahasuerus gave the estate of Haman, the Jews’ enemy, to Queen Esther. Then Mordecai was brought before the king, for Esther had told the king that he was her cousin and foster father.^{[a] 2} The king took off his ring—which he had taken back from Haman—and gave it to Mordecai appointing him Prime Minister;^[b] and Esther appointed Mordecai to be in charge of Haman’s estate.

³ And now once more Esther came before the king, falling down at his feet and begging him with tears to stop Haman’s plot against the Jews.
