1After these things, when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what had been decreed against her.

2Then the king’s young men who attended him said, “Let young virgins beautiful in appearance be sought for the king.”

3Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them gather every young virgin of beautiful appearance to Susa the citadel, to the house of the women, into the custody of Hegai the king’s eunuch, keeper of the women; and let their cosmetics be given to them.

4And let the young woman who pleases the king become queen instead of Vashti. The proposal pleased the king, and he did so.
