וַתִּיטַ֨ב הַנַּעֲרָ֤ה בְעֵינָיו֙ וַתִּשָּׂ֣א חֶ֔סֶד לְפָנָ֖יו וַיְבַהֵ֣ל אֶת תַּמְרוּקֶ֑יהָ וְאֶת מָנוֹתֶ֗הָ לָתֵ֤ת לָהּ֙ וְאֵ֣ת שֶׁ֣בַע הַנְּעָר֔וֹת הָרְאֻיֹת֙ לָתֵ֣ת לָ֔הּ מִבֵּ֖ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ וַיְשַׁנֶּ֛הָ וְאֶת נַעֲרֹתֶ֖יהָ לְט֥וֹב בֵּ֖ית הַנָּשִֽׁים׃

King James Version (KJV)

And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with such things as belonged to her, and seven maidens, which were meet to be given her, out of the king's house: and he preferred her and her maids unto the best place of the house of the women.

Modern English

And the young woman pleased him and won his favor. And he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and her portion of food, and with seven chosen young women from the king's palace, and advanced her and her young women to the best place in the harem.
