Esther 2:16
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign. So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
When her appointed turn arrived to be brought before the king, Esther requested nothing beyond what Hegai directed. Hegai was the king's chamberlain and the keeper of the women, and she rested her preparation and presentation entirely upon his appointment. She won favor in the eyes of everyone who looked upon her.
The king loved Esther above all the other women, and she found grace and favor in his sight beyond all the virgins. He placed the royal crown upon her head and made her queen in the place of Vashti. He then held a great feast for all his princes and servants in Esther's honor, called Esther's feast, granted a release to the provinces, and distributed gifts in keeping with his royal state. Even after she had been taken into the royal house, she still had not disclosed her people or her kindred, as Mordecai had charged her, for she continued to obey Mordecai's command just as she had when she was brought up under his care.
