Esther 2:14-15

14She would go in the evening and come back in the morning to the other quarters for women. There she would be in the care of the king’s eunuch Shaashgaz, the guardian of the concubines. She never went to the king again unless the king desired her and requested her by name.

15(Esther was the daughter of Abihail, Mordecai’s uncle. Mordecai had adopted her as his own daughter.) When Esther’s turn came to go to the king, she asked only for what the king’s eunuch Hegai, the guardian of the women, advised. Everyone who saw Esther liked her.
