Esther 2:8

And it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and decree (edict, decree, law) was published, and when many young women (virgins) were gathered together to the palace of Susa, under the care of Hege, that Esther also was taken to the king’s palace, and delivered to Hege, the keeper of the women. (According to the Jewish historian Josephus, there were 400 virgins.)
