(2:8)
When the king's order and edict had been proclaimed, many girls were brought
to the citadel of Susa and put under the care of Hegai. Esther also was taken
to the king's palace and entrusted to Hegai, who had charge of the harem.
(2:9)
The girl pleased him and won his favor. Immediately he provided her with her
beauty treatments and special food. He assigned to her seven maids selected
from the king's palace and moved her and her maids into the best place in
the harem.
(2:10)
Esther had not revealed her nationality and family background, because Mordecai
had forbidden her to do so.
(2:11)
Every day he walked back and forth near the courtyard of the harem to find
out how Esther was and what was happening to her.
(2:12)
Before a girl's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve
months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil
of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics.
(2:13)
And this is how she would go to the king: Anything she wanted was given her
to take with her from the harem to the king's palace.
(2:14)
In the evening she would go there and in the morning return to another part
of the harem to the care of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge
of the concubines. She would not return to the king unless he was pleased
with her and summoned her by name.
