Esther 2:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Esther pleased Hegai, and he liked her. So Hegai quickly began giving Esther her beauty treatments and special food. He gave her seven servant girls chosen from the king’s palace. Then he moved her and her seven servant girls to the best part of the women’s quarters.

¹⁰ Esther did not tell anyone about her family or who her people were, because Mordecai had told her not to. ¹¹ Every day Mordecai walked back and forth near the courtyard where the king’s women lived to find out how Esther was and what was happening to her.
