SCRIPTURE

"then in this wise came the maiden unto the king: whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king`s house." — Esther 2:13 (ASV)

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

whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of
the women to 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 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.
