Est Esther, chapter Book of Esther, chapter 2
Now when every maid’s turn was come to go in to king Achashverosh [I will be silent and poor], after that she had been twelve months, according to the manner of the women, (for so were the days of their purifications accomplished, [that is to say], six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet odours, and with [other] things for the purifying of the women;)
Then thus came [every] virgin unto the king; whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king’s house.
In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Sha’ashgaz [servant of the beautiful], the king’s Chamberlain (eunuch or chief servant; one in charge of the king’s quarters), which kept the concubines: she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and that she were called by name.
