Esther 2:1-4

1After these things 1when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and 2what had been decreed against her. 2Then the king’s attendants, who served him, said, “3Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king. 3Let the king appoint overseers in 4all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of 5Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and 6let their cosmetics be given them. 4Then let the young lady who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti.” And the matter pleased the king, and he did accordingly.
