Esther 7:2-4

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 lossH5143.1
