Esther 2:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ Hegai liked Esther and he was kind to her. As soon as Esther arrived, Hegai gave her special food and oils to make her more beautiful. He chose seven female servants from the king's palace to take care of her. Then he moved Esther and her servants to the best rooms in the harem.

¹⁰ Esther did not tell anyone that she was a Jew. That is what Mordecai had told her. ¹¹ Mordecai wanted to know what was happening to Esther. So every day he walked in the palace yard that was near the harem. He wanted to hear some news about her.
