Esther 5:2-8
2And it wasH1961 so, when the kingH4428 sawH7200 EstherH635 the queenH4436 standingH5975 in the courtH2691, that she obtained favorH2580 in his sight; and the kingH4428 held out to EstherH635 the golden sceptre that wasH1961 in his handH3027. So EstherH635 drewH7126 near, and touchedH5060 the topH7218 of the sceptre. 3Then saidH559 the kingH4428 unto her, What wilt thou, queenH4436 EstherH635? and what is thy requestH1246? it shall be givenH5414 thee even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438. 4And EstherH635 saidH559, If it seem goodH2895 unto the kingH4428, let the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935 this dayH3117 unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.
5Then the kingH4428 saidH559, Cause HamanH2001 to makeH6213 hasteH4116, that it may be done as EstherH635 hath saidH559. So the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935 to the banquet that EstherH635 had prepared. 6And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto EstherH635 at the banquet of wineH3196, What is thy petitionH7596? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy requestH1246? even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be performed. 7Then answered EstherH635, and saidH559, My petitionH7596 and my requestH1246 is: 8If I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in the sight of the kingH4428, and if it please the kingH4428 to grant my petitionH7596, and to perform my requestH1246, let the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935 to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the kingH4428 hath said.
