Esther 2

⁹ And the young woman pleased him and obtained his favor, so he quickly provided her with beauty treatments and the special diet. He assigned to her seven select maidservants from the palace and transferred her with them to the best place in the harem.

¹⁰ Esther did not reveal her people or her lineage, because Mordecai had instructed her not to do so.

¹¹ And every day Mordecai would walk back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn about Esther’s welfare and what was happening to her.

¹² In the twelve months before her turn to go to King Xerxes, the harem regulation required each young woman to receive beauty treatments with oil of myrrh for six months, and then with perfumes and cosmetics for another six months.

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