Esther 2:2-4

The Voice

Servants: King Ahasuerus, someone should find beautiful young women who are old enough to be married for you. ³ We suggest you appoint officers in every province of Persia to round up every eligible woman and add her to your harem in the citadel of Susa. Hegai, the king’s eunuch who is in charge of the harem, will see to it that all of the women are properly prepared and receive all the needed cosmetics. ⁴ Then whichever young woman delights you the most will reign as queen in Vashti’s place.
