    10On the seventh day, when the king was in high spirits from the wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,

    11to bring Queen Vashti before the king wearing her royal crown, in order to display her beauty to the people and officials, for she was very beautiful.

    11Every day, Mordecai walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her.

    12When it was the turn of each young woman to go to King Ahasuerus, after completing twelve months of beauty treatments as prescribed—the six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and cosmetics for women—

    13the young woman would go to the king, and she was given whatever she requested to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace.

    14She would go in the evening, and in the morning she would return to a second harem under the custody of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch in charge of the concubines. She would not go to the king again unless he delighted in her and summoned her by name.

    15When it was Esther’s turn—the daughter of Abihail, the uncle of Mordecai who had adopted her as his own daughter—to go to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, recommended. And Esther won the favor of everyone who saw her.

    16Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

    17Now the king loved Esther more than all the other women, and she won his favor and kindness more than any of the other virgins. So he placed the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.
