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 decided regarding her. 2Then the king’s attendants, who served him, said, “3Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king. 3And may the king appoint overseers in 4all the provinces of his kingdom, and have them 5bring every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of 6Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and 7let their cosmetics be given to them. 4Then let the young woman who pleases the king be queen in place of Vashti.” And the 8suggestion pleased the king, and he did accordingly.
