Esther 2:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 He was the guardian to Hadassah, that is (A)Esther, his uncle’s daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young woman was beautiful of form and [a]face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter.
Esther Finds Favor
8 So it came about, when the command and decree of the king were heard and (B)many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the [b]custody of (C)Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king’s [c]palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women. 9 Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her (D)cosmetics and [d]food, gave her seven choice female attendants from the king’s palace, and transferred her and her attendants to the best place in the harem.
