Esther 5:2-8

2And it was soH1961, when the kingH4428 sawH7200 EstherH635 the queenH4436 standingH5975 in the courtH2691, that sheH834 obtainedH5375 favour in his sightH5869: and the kingH4428 heldH1961 outH7200 to EstherH635 the goldenH2091 sceptre that was in his handH3027. SoH1961 EstherH635 drewH7126 nearH7126, and touchedH5060 the topH7218 of the sceptre.

3Then saidH559 the kingH4428 unto herH5414, WhatH4100 wilt thou, queenH4436 EstherH635? and whatH4100 is thy requestH1246? it shall be givenH5414 thee evenH5704 to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438.

4And EstherH635 saidH559, IfH518 it seem goodH2895 unto the kingH4428, let the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935 this dayH3117 unto the banquetH4960 that I have preparedH6213 for him.

5Then the kingH4428 saidH559, CauseH1697 HamanH2001 to makeH6213 hasteH4116, that it may be doneH6213 as EstherH635 hath saidH559. SoH6213 the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935 to the banquetH4960 that EstherH635 had preparedH6213.

6And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto EstherH635 at the banquetH4960 of wineH3196, WhatH4100 is thy petitionH7596? and it shall he grantedH5414 thee: and whatH4100 is thy requestH1246? evenH5704 to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be performedH5414.

7Then answeredH559 EstherH635, and saidH559, My petitionH7596 and my requestH1246 is;

8ifH518 I have foundH4672 favour in the sightH5869 of the kingH4428, and ifH518 it pleaseH2895 the kingH4428 to grantH5414 my petitionH7596, and to performH6213 my requestH1246, letH5414 the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935 to the banquetH4960 that I shall prepareH6213 for them, and I will doH6213 tomorrowH4279 as the kingH4428 hath saidH413.
