Esther 2:1-4

1After these things, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.

2Then the king’s servants who attended him said: “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king;

3and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the citadel, into the women’s quarters, under the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, custodian of the women. And let beauty preparations be given them.

4Then let the young woman who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” This thing pleased the king, and he did so.
