Esther 2
[12] Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king
Ahasuerus, after that she had been twelve months, according to the
manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications
accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with
sweet odours, and with other things for the purifying of the women;)
[13]
Then thus came every maiden unto the king; whatsoever she desired was
given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's
house.
[14] In the evening she went, and on the morrow she
returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of
Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, which kept the concubines: she came
in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she
were called by name.
[15] Now when the turn of Esther, the
daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his
daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what
Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And
Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.
[16]
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the
tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his
reign.
[17] And the king loved Esther above all the women, and
she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins;
so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead
of Vashti.
