Esther 2:12-14

Tree of Life Version

¹² When each young woman’s turn came to go to King Ahasuerus at the end of 12 months as prescribed for the women—for in this way they fulfilled their beautification: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with perfumes and women’s cosmetics— ¹³ the young woman would go to the king in this way: whatever she asked for was given to her to take with her from the women’s house to the king’s palace. ¹⁴ In the evening she would go, and in the morning she would return to the second women’s home under the supervision of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, guardian of the concubines. She would not go back to the king unless the king was pleased with her, and summoned her by name.
