Esther 5:1-12

5:1

Now it came to pass on the third
<07992>

day
<03117>_,

that Esther
<0635>

put on
<03847> (8799)

[her] royal
<04438>

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

in the inner
<06442>

court
<02691>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

over against
<05227>

the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_:

and the king
<04428>

sat
<03427> (8802)

upon his royal
<04438>

throne
<03678>

in the royal
<04438>

house
<01004>_,

over against
<05227>

the gate
<06607>

of the house
<01004>_.

5:2

And it was so, when the king
<04428>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>

standing
<05975> (8802)

in the court
<02691>_,

[that] she obtained
<05375> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in his sight
<05869>_:

and the king
<04428>

held out
<03447> (8686)

to Esther
<0635>

the golden
<02091>

sceptre
<08275>

that [was] in his hand
<03027>_.

So Esther
<0635>

drew near
<07126> (8799)_,

and touched
<05060> (8799)

the top
<07218>

of the sceptre
<08275>_.

5:3

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>

unto her, What wilt thou, queen
<04436>

Esther
<0635>_?

and what [is] thy request
<01246>_?

it shall be even given
<05414> (8735)

thee to the half
<02677>

of the kingdom
<04438>_.

5:4

And Esther
<0635>

answered
<0559> (8799)_,

If [it seem] good
<02895> (8804)

unto the king
<04428>_,

let the king
<04428>

and Haman
<02001>

come
<0935> (8799)

this day
<03117>

unto the banquet
<04960>

that I have prepared
<06213> (8804)

for him.

5:5

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Cause Haman
<02001>

to make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

that he may do
<06213> (8800)

as Esther
<0635>

hath said
<01697>_.

So the king
<04428>

and Haman
<02001>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the banquet
<04960>

that Esther
<0635>

had prepared
<06213> (8804)_.

5:6

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Esther
<0635>

at the banquet
<04960>

of wine
<03196>_,

What [is] thy petition
<07596>_?

and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)

thee: and what [is] thy request
<01246>_?

even to the half
<02677>

of the kingdom
<04438>

it shall be performed
<06213> (8735)_.

5:7

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Esther
<0635>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

My petition
<07596>

and my request
<01246>

[is];

5:8

If I have found
<04672> (8804)

favour
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of the king
<04428>_,

and if it please
<02895> (8804)

the king
<04428>

to grant
<05414> (8800)

my petition
<07596>_,

and to perform
<06213> (8800)

my request
<01246>_,

let the king
<04428>

and Haman
<02001>

come
<0935> (8799)

to the banquet
<04960>

that I shall prepare
<06213> (8799)

for them, and I will do
<06213> (8799)

to morrow
<04279>

as the king
<04428>

hath said
<01697>_.

{perform: Heb. do}

5:9

Then went
<03318> (0)

Haman
<02001>

forth
<03318> (8799)

that day
<03117>

joyful
<08056>

and with a glad
<02896>

heart
<03820>_:

but when Haman
<02001>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Mordecai
<04782>

in the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_,

that he stood not up
<06965> (8804)_,

nor moved
<02111> (8804)

for him, he
<02001>

was full
<04390> (8735)

of indignation
<02534>

against Mordecai
<04782>_.

5:10

Nevertheless Haman
<02001>

refrained
<0662> (8691)

himself: and when he came
<0935> (8799)

home
<01004>_,

he sent
<07971> (8799)

and called
<0935> (8686)

for his friends
<0157> (8802)_,

and Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>_.

{called...: Heb. caused to come}

5:11

And Haman
<02001>

told
<05608> (8762)

them of the glory
<03519>

of his riches
<06239>_,

and the multitude
<07230>

of his children
<01121>_,

and all [the things] wherein the king
<04428>

had promoted
<01431> (8765)

him, and how he had advanced
<05375> (8765)

him above the princes
<08269>

and servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>_.

5:12

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>_.
