Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 125:2

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

Rabbi Chanina said: As a reward for the modesty that was in Rachel, that she handed over the signs to her sister, she merited that Saul came forth from her. And as a reward for the modesty that was in Saul, as it is written, "but about the matter of the kingship he did not tell him" (1 Samuel 10:16), he merited that Esther came forth from him, as it is written, "Esther did not reveal her kindred" (Esther 2:20).
