Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, Let there be fair young virgins sought for the king:
Entonces los siervos personales del rey que lo atendían dijeron: 'Busquemos jóvenes hermosas y solteras para el rey.'

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Esther, which is set in the Persian Empire during the 5th century BC under King Ahasuerus (likely Xerxes I), the king had just banished his queen, Vashti, for refusing to appear before his guests, highlighting the patriarchal and authoritarian customs of the time. His servants then suggested searching for beautiful young virgins to present to the king as potential new queens, reflecting the royal practice of selecting wives from among the empire's subjects to maintain political alliances and personal favor. This narrative underscores the extravagance and absolute authority of Persian monarchs in a culture where women were often treated as commodities in royal courts.
