Greek Esther 2:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ The girl pleased him and won his favour, and he quickly provided her with ointments and her portion of food,^[a] as well as seven maids chosen from the palace; he treated her and her maids with special favour in the harem. ¹⁰ Now Esther had not disclosed her people or country, for Mordecai had commanded her not to make it known. ¹¹ And every day Mordecai walked in the courtyard of the harem, to see what would happen to Esther.
