Esther 7:1-4

7:1

So the king
<04428>

and Haman
<02001>

came
<0935> (8799)

to banquet
<08354> (8800)

with Esther
<0635>

the queen
<04436>_.

{to banquet: Heb. to drink}

7:2

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

again unto Esther
<0635>

on the second
<08145>

day
<03117>

at the banquet
<04960>

of wine
<03196>_,

What [is] thy petition
<07596>_,

queen
<04436>

Esther
<0635>_?

and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)

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

and it shall be performed
<06213> (8735)_,

[even] to the half
<02677>

of the kingdom
<04438>_.

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>_:

7:4

For we are sold
<04376> (8738)_,

I and my people
<05971>_,

to be destroyed
<08045> (8687)_,

to be slain
<02026> (8800)_,

and to perish
<06> (8763)_.

But if
<0432>

we had been sold
<04376> (8738)

for bondmen
<05650>

and bondwomen
<08198>_,

I had held my tongue
<02790> (8689)_,

although the enemy
<06862>

could not countervail
<07737> (8802)

the king's
<04428>

damage
<05143>_.

{to be destroyed...: Heb. that they should destroy, and kill, and cause to perish}
