Esther 2:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And the maid pleased him, and she found favor in his sight, therefore he caused her things for purification to be given her speedily, and her [a]state, and seven comely maids to be given her out of the King’s house, and he gave change to her and to her maids of the best in the house of the women.
10 But Esther showed not her people and her kindred: for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell it.
11 And Mordecai walked [b]every day before the court of the women’s house, to know if Esther did well, and what should be done with her.
