Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Achashverosh after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women's house, to the custody of Sha`ashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the concubines. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
