Esther 2:9-11
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
9 And the maiden pleased [Hegai] and obtained his favor. And he speedily gave her the things for her purification and her portion of food and the seven chosen maids to be given her from the king’s palace; and he removed her and her maids to the best [apartment] in the harem.
10 Esther had not made known her nationality or her kindred, for Mordecai had charged her not to do so.
11 And Mordecai [who was an [a]attendant in the king’s court] walked every day before the court of the harem to learn how Esther was and what would become of her.
