Greek Esther 2:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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. ⁴ And the woman who pleases the king shall be queen instead of Vashti.’^[a] This pleased the king, and he did so.
