Esther 2:11-13

Amplified Bible

¹¹ Every day Mordecai [who was an ^[a]attendant in the king’s court] walked back and forth in front of the courtyard of the harem to learn how Esther was getting along and what was happening to her.

¹² Now when it was each young woman’s turn to go before King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women—for the days of their beautification were completed as follows: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with [sweet] spices and perfumes and the beauty preparations for women— ¹³ then the young woman would go before the king in this way: anything that she wanted was given her to take with her from the harem into the king’s palace.
