Esther 7:2-4

2And the kingH4428 saidH559 again unto EstherH635 on the secondH8145 dayH3117 at the banquet of wineH3196, What is thy petitionH7596, queenH4436 EstherH635? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy requestH1246? even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be performed.

3Then EstherH635 the queenH4436 answered and saidH559, If I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in thy sight, O kingH4428, and if it please the kingH4428, let my lifeH5315 be givenH5414 me at my petitionH7596, and my peopleH5971 at my requestH1246:

4for we are soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, to be slainH2026, and to perishH6. But if we had been soldH4376 for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’sH4428 damage.
