Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then thus came every virgin unto the king,.... When her twelve months were up, and she was purified in the manner before observed:

whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house; whatever she commanded the chamberlain was obliged to furnish her with, or grant it to her, whether for ornament, as jewels, rich apparel, c. or for attendance whatever prince or peer she required to accompany her to the king, was to be obtained for her, as the Targum: and everything for mirth, all kinds of songs, or instruments of music, as Jarchi.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 13. Whatsoever she desired — When any of the young women were called to go to the king, it appears that it was an ordinance that whatever kind of dress stuff, colour, jewels, &c., they thought best to set off their persons, and render them more engaging, should be given them.
