The context

12And when the turn of each young woman came to go in to King Ahasuerus, at the end of twelve months of her being according to the law of the women (for so the days of their ointments were completed: six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and with the ointments of the women),

13 · This verse (above)

14In the evening she would go in, and in the morning she would return to the second house of the women, under the hand of Shaashgaz, the king’s eunuch, keeper of the concubines; she would not go in again to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was called by name.
