Esther 2:8-11

8And it came to pass when the king's commandment and his decree wasH1961 heardH8085, and when manyH7227 maidens wereH1961 gatheredH6908 togetherH6908 unto Shushan the fortress, unto the custody of HegaiH1896, that EstherH635 also wasH1961 brought into the king's houseH1004, unto the custody of HegaiH1896, keeperH8104 of the womenH802.

9And the maiden pleased him, and obtained favour before him; and he speedily gaveH5414 her her things for purification, and her portionsH4490, and the sevenH7651 maidens selected to be givenH5414 her, out of the king's houseH1004; and he removed her and her maidsH5291 to the bestH2896 [place] of the houseH1004 of the womenH802.

10EstherH635 had not made known her peopleH5971 nor her birthH4138; for MordecaiH4782 had charged her that she should not make it known.

11And MordecaiH4782 walkedH1980 every dayH3117 before the courtH2691 of the women's houseH1004, to knowH3045 howH4100 EstherH635 did, and what should become of her.
