2And it wasH1961 so, when the kingH4428 sawH7200 the queenH4436 EstherH635 standingH5975 in the courtH2691, that she obtained graceH2580 in his sight; and the kingH4428 held out to EstherH635 the golden sceptre that wasH1961 in his handH3027; and EstherH635 drewH7126 near, and touchedH5060 the topH7218 of the sceptre.

3And the kingH4428 saidH559 to 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 to the kingH4428, let the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935 this dayH3117 to the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5And the kingH4428 saidH559, HastenH4116 HamanH2001, that it may be done as EstherH635 has saidH559. And the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935 to the banquet that EstherH635 had prepared.

7And EstherH635 answered and saidH559, My petitionH7596 and my requestH1246 is,

8If I have foundH4672 graceH2580 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 according to the king's wordH1697.
