4So Esther’sH635 maidsH5291 and her chamberlainsH5631 cameH935 and toldH5046 it her. Then was the queenH4436 exceedinglyH3966 grievedH2342; and she sentH7971 raimentH899 to clotheH3847 MordecaiH4782, and to take awayH5493 his sackclothH8242 from him: but he receivedH6901 it not.1 5Then calledH7121 EstherH635 for HatachH2047, one of the king’sH4428 chamberlainsH5631, whom he had appointedH5975 to attendH6440 upon her, and gave him a commandmentH6680 to MordecaiH4782, to knowH3045 what it was, and why it was.2 6So HatachH2047 went forthH3318 to MordecaiH4782 unto the streetH7339 of the cityH5892, which was beforeH6440 the king’sH4428 gateH8179. 7And MordecaiH4782 toldH5046 him of all that had happenedH7136 unto him, and of the sumH6575 of the moneyH3701 that HamanH2001 had promisedH559 to payH8254 to the king’sH4428 treasuriesH1595 for the JewsH3064, to destroyH6 them. 8Also he gaveH5414 him the copyH6572 of the writingH3791 of the decreeH1881 that was givenH5414 at ShushanH7800 to destroyH8045 them, to shewH7200 it unto EstherH635, and to declareH5046 it unto her, and to chargeH6680 her that she should go inH935 unto the kingH4428, to make supplicationH2603 unto him, and to make requestH1245 beforeH6440 him for her peopleH5971. 9And HatachH2047 cameH935 and toldH5046 EstherH635 the wordsH1697 of MordecaiH4782.
