It sounds to me like Esther was collected along with other pretty girls. I don’t hear a choice in the account. Yet it is amazing that God can bring good out of bad kind of like what happened to Joseph being sold into slavery. God over saw the events so that even in the anger of Joseph’s brothers and even in the male system that could take over the bodies of beautiful females at will, God is still able to be in control of bringing His will through it all.
