In this fourth message in Esther we see the Medo-Persian kingdom using FORCE to deliver beautiful women to the divorced king. At the conclusion of their "beautification", which required a full year of beauty treatments, the young ladies were under conscription to go in to the king, one by one, night by night, for his personal exploitation and evaluation. Esther was only one of many women, but when her turn came to go in to the king, she complied, taking only the requirements of the king's eunuch, yet she found FAVOR in the sight of all who feasted their eyes on her. She was carried off to be sexually confronted by the king. King Ahasuerus was so "love struck" by Esther that the "beauty contest" was stopped - he approved her above all the others, giving her the coronation as his new queen. The king celebrated with another FEAST (Esther's banquet), giving the day off for his kingdom and giving away very generous gifts. Mordecai remained concerned, now sitting at the king's gate, but Esther remained obedient, refusing to reveal her kindred or her people.
