Esther 2:8-9

8So it came about, when the command and decree of the king were heard and 1many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the 2custody of 3Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king’s 4palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.

9Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her 5cosmetics and 6food, gave her seven choice female attendants from the king’s palace, and transferred her and her attendants to the best place in the harem.
