Esther 2:12-15
New International Version
12 Before a young woman’s turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes(A) and cosmetics. 13 And this is how she would go to the king: Anything she wanted was given her to take with her from the harem to the king’s palace. 14 In the evening she would go there and in the morning return to another part of the harem to the care of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the concubines.(B) She would not return to the king unless he was pleased with her and summoned her by name.(C)
15 When the turn came for Esther (the young woman Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail(D)) to go to the king,(E) she asked for nothing other than what Hegai, the king’s eunuch who was in charge of the harem, suggested. And Esther won the favor(F) of everyone who saw her.
