5 There was a man, a Jew, in Susa the citadel—and his name was Mordecai, son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a man of Benjamin— 6 who had been removed from Jerusalem with the exiles who had been removed with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had removed. 7 And he was supporting Hadassah—she is Esther—daughter of his uncle, for there was not unto her father or mother, and the young woman was lovely of form and beautiful of appearance, and at the death of her father and her mother, Mordecai had taken her to himself for a daughter.
