3 Let the king appoint commissionersb in each province of his kingdom, so that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to the harem at the fortress of Susa.c Put them under the supervision of Hegai, the king’s eunuch,d keeper of the women,e and give them the required beauty treatments. 4 Then the young woman who pleases the kingf will become queen instead of Vashti.”g This suggestion pleased the king, and he did accordingly.
