Esther 4:4-10

And she sentH7971 garmentsH899 to clotheH3847 MordecaiH4782 that he might removeH5493 his sackclothH8242 from him, but he did not acceptH6901 them. 5Then EstherH635 summonedH7121 HathachH2047 from the king’sH4428 eunuchsH5631, whomH834 1the king had appointedH5975 to attendH6440 her, and orderedH6680 him to go to MordecaiH4782 to learnH3045 whatH4100 thisH2088 was and whyH4100 it was. 6So HathachH2047 wentH3318 out to MordecaiH4782 to the cityH5892 squareH7339 in frontH6440 of the king’sH4428 gateH8179. 7MordecaiH4782 toldH5046 him allH3605 that had happenedH7136 to him, and 2the exactH6575 amountH6575 of moneyH3701 that HamanH2001 had promisedH559 to payH8254 to the king’sH4428 treasuriesH1595 for the destructionH6 of the JewsH3064. 8He also gaveH5414 him 3a copyH6572 of the textH3791 of the edictH1881 whichH834 had been issuedH5414 in SusaH7800 for their destructionH8045, that he might showH7200 EstherH635 and informH5046 her, and to orderH6680 her to goH935 in to the kingH4428 to imploreH2603 his favorH2603 and to pleadH1245 with him for her peopleH5971.
