Esther 7:1-4

1So the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935 to banquetH8354 with EstherH635 the queenH4436.1

2And the kingH4428 saidH559 again to EstherH635 on the secondH8145 dayH3117 at the banquetH4960 of wineH3196, What is thy petitionH7596, queenH4436 EstherH635? and it shall be grantedH5414 thee: and what is thy requestH1246? and it shall be performedH6213, even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438.

3Then EstherH635 the queenH4436 answeredH6030 and saidH559, If I have foundH4672 favourH2580 in thy sightH5869, O kingH4428, and if it shall pleaseH2895 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 ifH432 we had been soldH4376 for maleH5650 and female slavesH8198, I had held my tongueH2790, although the enemyH6862 could not compensate forH7737 the king’sH4428 lossH5143.2
