En die jonge dochter behaagde hem, en zij vond barmhartigheid voor hem; en hij haastte zich met hare versierselen, om haar haar deel te geven en zeven uitgelezen jonge dochters van des konings huis haar toe te voegen en hij bracht haar met hare jonge dochters in het beste gedeelte van het vrouwenverblijf.
Daar het meisje hem behaagde en zij gunst bij hem vond maakte hij spoed met haar haar schoonheidsmiddelen en haar spijzen en dranken te geven en de zeven hiervoor geschiktste meisjes uit het paleis bij haar te plaatsen; waarop hij haar met haar meisjes deed verhuizen naar de beste vertrekken van het vrouwentimmer.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the maiden pleased him,.... Not the king, into whose presence she was not yet introduced, but the chamberlain; her beauty and her behaviour recommended her to him, and he concluded within himself that she was the person that of all would be acceptable to the king:
and she obtained kindness of him: had favours shown others had not:
and he speedily gave her things for purification; as oil, spices, c. that she might be the sooner fitted to be had into the king's presence:
with such things as belonged to her food and drink from the king's table; the Targum interprets it gifts, as chains and royal apparel:
and seven maidens, which were given her, out of the king's house; to wait upon her the seven days of the week, as the same Targum:
and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women; removed her and them to it, which was the most splendid, had large, airy, and pleasant rooms.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Esther 2:9. The maiden pleased him — He conceived a partiality for her above the rest, probably because of the propriety of her deportment, and her engaging though unassuming manners.
Seven maidens — These were to attend her to the bath, to anoint and adorn her, and be her servants in general.
