  • Esth 2:2-9 : 2 Then the king’s attendants said, "Let a search be made for beautiful young virgins for the king. 3 Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom to gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem under the custody of Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, and let them be given beauty treatments. 4 Then the young woman who pleases the king will become queen in place of Vashti." This proposal pleased the king, and he acted accordingly. 5 Now there was a Jewish man in the citadel of Susa whose name was Mordecai son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjaminite. 6 He had been taken into exile from Jerusalem with the exiles who were deported with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had taken into exile. 7 Mordecai was the guardian of Hadassah, also known as Esther, the daughter of his uncle, because she had neither father nor mother. The young woman was beautiful in form and appearance. When her father and mother died, Mordecai took her in as his own daughter. 8 When the king’s command and decree were heard, and many young women were gathered to the citadel of Susa under the custody of Hegai, Esther also was taken to the king’s palace and placed under the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women. 9 The young woman pleased him and gained his favor. So he promptly provided her with beauty treatments and her portion of food, along with seven chosen young women from the king’s palace. He moved her and her attendants to the best place in the harem. 10 Esther had not revealed her people or her family background because Mordecai had commanded her not to do so. 11 Every day, Mordecai walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her. 12 When 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— 13 the 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. 14 She 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. 15 When 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. 16 Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus in the royal palace in the tenth month, the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
