Additions to Esther 2:11 In-Context

9 Hegai liked Esther, and she won his favor. He lost no time in beginning her beauty treatment of massage and special diet. He assigned seven young women specially chosen from the royal palace to serve her, and he treated her and her servants well.

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.
