Esther 2:8-10

Tree of Life Version

⁸ After the king’s order and decree became known, many young women were assembled in the palace of Shushan under the supervision of Hegai. Esther also was taken into the king’s household under the supervision of Hegai, guardian of the women. ⁹ This young woman pleased him and found favor with him. He quickly arranged her beauty treatments and provided her special food. He also provided her with seven specially chosen young women from the king’s household. Then he moved her and her maids to the best place in the women’s house.

¹⁰ Esther had not disclosed her people or her lineage, because Mordecai had commanded her not to make them known.
