Esther 2:9-11

Darby Translation

⁹ And the maiden pleased him, and obtained favour before him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, and her portions, and the seven maidens selected to be given her, out of the king's house; and he removed her and her maids to the best [place] of the house of the women.

¹⁰ Esther had not made known her people nor her birth; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not make it known.

¹¹ And Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house, to know how Esther did, and what should become of her.
