Hegai was impressed with her and was kind to her, he also gave her mnay beauty treatments, assigned her seven maids, and moved her into the best place. She talked and walked with her uncle everyday and she would tell him of her happenings. When it was time for Ester to go with the king, she got six months of beauty treatments and chose whatever she wanted to wear. After that night, she was brought to the second harlem where the wives lived. Finally, she was asked again to go to the king and only wore what Hegai suggested and everyone loved her. She was taken there in eary winter of the seventh year of his reign.
Esther became queen and a huge banquet and holiday were had for her.
