Additions to Esther 2:12 In-Context

10 Now, on the advice of Mordecai, Esther had kept secret the fact that she was Jewish.

11 Every day Mordecai would walk back and forth in front of the courtyard of the harem, watching to see what was going to happen to her.

12 The regular beauty treatment for the young women lasted a year: massages with oil of myrrh for six months and with beauty creams and cosmetics for six more.

13 After that, each young woman was handed over to the person appointed to conduct her from the harem to the palace, and she was taken to the king.

14 She would go there in the evening, and the next morning she would be taken to another harem and put in the care of Hegai, the eunuch in charge. She would not go to the king again unless he asked for her by name.
