Esther 6:1
night <03915> [that night.]
king ... unable ... sleep ....................... king's <05074 04428 08142> [could not the king sleep. Heb. the king's sleep fled away.]
book ..... records <05612 02146> [the book of records.]
As chronicles were composed among the Persians, a more instructive and interesting work could not be brought before the king; because they were all written in verse, and were generally the work of the most eminent poets of the empire.
