Esther 2:10
Esther Finds Favor
9And the young woman pleased him and obtained his favor, so he quickly provided her with beauty treatments and the special diet. He assigned to her seven select maidservants from the palace and transferred her with them to the best place in the harem.10Esther did not reveal her people or her lineage, because Mordecai had instructed her not to do so.11And every day Mordecai would walk back and forth in front of the court of the harem to learn about Esther’s welfare and what was happening to her.
