Esther Becomes Queen
2 After these things, the king’s anger abated, and he no longer was concerned about Vashti[a] or remembered what he had said and how he had condemned her. 2 Then the king’s servants said, ‘Let beautiful and virtuous girls be sought out for the king. 3 The king shall appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, and they shall select beautiful young virgins to be brought to the harem in Susa, the capital. Let them be entrusted to the king’s eunuch who is in charge of the women, and let ointments and whatever else they need be given them.
