Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices.
Esther 2:10 And she would not tell him her people nor her country. For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that:
Esther 2:11 And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther's welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her.
Esther 2:12 Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices.
Esther 2:13 And when they were going in to the king, whatsoever they asked to adorn themselves they received: and being decked out, as it pleased them, they passed from the chamber of the women to the king's chamber.
Esther 2:14 And she that went in at evening, came out in the morning, and from thence she was conducted to the second house, that was under the hand of Susagaz the eunuch, who had the charge over the king's concubines: neither could she return any more to the king, unless the king desired it, and had ordered her by name to come.
The verse centers on "virgin's", "turn", "came", "king", "after", "been", "done", and "setting". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "virgin's" and "turn", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 11's "And he walked every day before the..." into verse 13's "And when they were going in to...", so "virgin's" and "turn" belong inside that flow. In Esther context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "virgin's" and "turn" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
