uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

וַ⁠יֶּאֱהַ֨ב הַ⁠מֶּ֤לֶךְ אֶת־אֶסְתֵּר֙ מִ⁠כָּל־הַ⁠נָּשִׁ֔ים וַ⁠תִּשָּׂא־חֵ֥ן וָ⁠חֶ֛סֶד לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו מִ⁠כָּל־הַ⁠בְּתוּלֹ֑ת

and,loved the=king DOM ʼEştēr from=all the,women and,won graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty and,approval in,sight,his from=all the,virgins

These two phrases mean almost the same thing. The information is given twice, in slightly different ways, to emphasize that Ahasuerus was completely convinced that Esther was the one he should make his queen. “More than all the virgins” basically duplicates the meaning of “more than all the women,” so, if this duplication would be confusing in your language, you don’t need to include both phrases, or you could say, “more than all of them” for the second phrase.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

מִ⁠כָּל־הַ⁠נָּשִׁ֔ים

from=all the,women

This means all the other women who had been brought to the king and who became his concubines.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַ⁠תִּשָּׂא־חֵ֥ן וָ⁠חֶ֛סֶד לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו

and,won graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty and,approval in,sight,his

This is a rare expression in Hebrew, and the exact meaning is uncertain. See how you translated similar phrases in 2:9 and 2:15. Review the explanation there if that would be helpful. In this context, it probably means that King Ahasuerus was very impressed with both Esther’s appearance and her personality.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

וַ⁠תִּשָּׂא־חֵ֥ן וָ⁠חֶ֛סֶד לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו

and,won graciousness/kindness/favour/beauty and,approval in,sight,his

Favor and kindness mean similar things and are probably used together here to strengthen a single idea. Alternate translation: “he was very pleased with her”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

לְ⁠פָנָ֖י⁠ו

in,sight,his

Here, face represents the presence of a person.

Note 6 topic: translate-symaction

וַ⁠יָּ֤שֶׂם כֶּֽתֶר־מַלְכוּת֙ בְּ⁠רֹאשָׁ֔⁠הּ

and=he/it_assigned crown royal in/on/at/with,head,her

Ahasuerus did this to show that he was making Esther his queen.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

כֶּֽתֶר־מַלְכוּת֙

crown royal

To translate the abstract noun royalty, you can use an adjective such as a “royal” crown.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

2:17 he set the royal crown on her head: Now Esther had access to the king’s heart as his favored wife. She was now in a place where God could use her to impact the thoughts and actions of the king.
