[her] royal
<04438>

[apparel], and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

over against

Esther

standing
<05975> (8802)

in the court
<02691>_,

[that] she obtained
<05375> (8804)

favour
<02580>

<03447> (8686)

to Esther
<0635>

the golden
<02091>

<08275>

drew near
<07126> (8799)_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the top
<07218>

of the sceptre

<03519>

of his riches
<06239>_,

and the multitude
<07230>

of his children
<01121>_,

and all [the things] wherein the king

<05375> (8765)

him above the princes
<08269>

and servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>_.

Haman
<02001>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, Yea, Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

did let no man come in
<0935> (8689)

with the king
<04428>

unto the banquet
<04960>

that she had prepared
<06213> (8804)

but myself; and to morrow
<04279>

am I invited
<07121> (8803)

unto her also with the king
<04428>_.

Esther 6:4

6:4

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] in the court
<02691>_?

Now Haman
<02001>

was come
<0935> (8804)

into the outward
<02435>

court
<02691>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

to speak
<0559> (8800)

unto the king
<04428>

to hang
<08518> (8800)

Mordecai
<04782>

on the gallows
<06086>

that he had prepared
<03559> (8689)

for him.

Esther 6:10

6:10

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Haman
<02001>_,

Make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

[and] take
<03947> (8798)

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

even so to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

at the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_:

let nothing
<01697>

fail
<05307> (8686)

of all that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

{let...: Heb. suffer not a whit to fall}

Esther 7:3

7:3

Then Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

If I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

O king
<04428>_,

and if it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>_,

let my life
<05315>

be given
<05414> (8735)

me at my petition
<07596>_,

and my people
<05971>

at my request
<01246>_:

Esther 7:8

7:8

Then the king
<04428>

returned
<07725> (8804)

out of the palace
<01055>

garden
<01594>

into the place
<01004>

of the banquet
<04960>

of wine
<03196>_;

and Haman
<02001>

was fallen
<05307> (8802)

upon the bed
<04296>

whereon Esther
<0635>

[was]. Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

Will he force
<03533> (8800)

the queen
<04436>

also before me in the house
<01004>_?

As the word
<01697>

went out
<03318> (8804)

of the king's
<04428>

mouth
<06310>_,

they covered
<02645> (8804)

Haman's
<02001>

face
<06440>_.

{before me: Heb. with me}

Esther 8:1

On that day
<03117>

did the king
<04428>

<0325>

give
<05414> (8804)

the house
<01004>

of Haman
<02001>

the Jews
<03064>_'

enemy
<06887> (8802)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_.

And Mordecai
<04782>

came
<0935> (8804)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_;

for Esther
<0635>

had told
<05046> (8689)

what he [was] unto her.

Esther 9:12

9:12

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_,

The Jews
<03064>

have slain
<02026> (8804)

and destroyed
<06> (8763)

five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

<0376>

in Shushan
<07800>

the palace
<01002>_,

and the ten
<06235>

<02001>_;

what have they done
<06213> (8804)

in the rest
<07605>

of the king's
<04428>

provinces
<04082>_?

now what [is] thy petition
<07596>_?

and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)

thee: or what [is] thy request
<01246>

further

and it shall be done
<06213> (8735)_.
