@ Now it came to pass on the
third
day
, that
Esther
put
on
her
royal
apparel, and
stood
in the
inner
court
of the
kings
house
, over
against
the
kings
house
: and the
king
sat
upon his
royal
throne
in the
royal
house
, over
against
the
gate
of the
house
.
strkjv@Esther:5:2
@ And it was so, when the
king
saw
Esther
the
queen
standing
in the
court
, that she
obtained
favour
in his
sight
: and the
king
held
out
to
Esther
the
golden
sceptre
that was in his
hand
. So
Esther
drew
near
, and
touched
the
top
of the
sceptre
.
strkjv@Esther:5:3
@ Then
said
the
king
unto her, What wilt thou,
queen
Esther
? and what is thy
request
? it shall be even
given
thee to the
half
of the
kingdom
.
strkjv@Esther:5:4
@ And
Esther
answered
, If it seem
good
unto the
king
, let the
king
and
Haman
come
this
day
unto the
banquet
that I have
prepared
for him.
strkjv@Esther:5:5
@ Then the
king
said
, Cause
Haman
to make
haste
, that he may
do
as
Esther
hath
said
. So the
king
and
Haman
came
to the
banquet
that
Esther
had
prepared
.
strkjv@Esther:5:6
@ And the
king
said
unto
Esther
at the
banquet
of
wine
, What is thy
petition
sh@? and it shall be
granted
thee: and what is thy
request
? even to the
half
of the
kingdom
it shall be
performed
.
strkjv@Esther:5:7
@ Then
answered
Esther
, and
said
, My
petition
and my
request
is;
strkjv@Esther:5:8
@ If I have
found
favour
in the
sight
of the
king
, and if it
please
the
king
to
grant
my
petition
sh@, and to
perform
my
request
, let the
king
and
Haman
come
to the
banquet
that I shall
prepare
for them, and I will
do
to
morrow
as the
king
hath
said
.
strkjv@Esther:5:9
@ Then
went
Haman
forth
that
day
joyful
and with a
glad
heart
: but when
Haman
saw
Mordecai
in the
kings
gate
, that he stood not
up
, nor
moved
for him,
he
was
full
of
indignation
against
Mordecai
.
strkjv@Esther:5:10
@ Nevertheless
Haman
refrained
himself: and when he
came
home
, he
sent
and
called
for his
friends
, and
Zeresh
his
wife
.
strkjv@Esther:5:11
@ And
Haman
told
them of the
glory
of his
riches
, and the
multitude
of his
children
, and all the things wherein the
king
had
promoted
him, and how he had
advanced
him above the
princes
and
servants
of the
king
.
strkjv@Esther:5:12
@
Haman
said
moreover, Yea,
Esther
the
queen
did let no man come
in
with the
king
unto the
banquet
that she had
prepared
but myself; and to
morrow
am I
invited
unto her also with the
king
.
strkjv@Esther:5:13
@ Yet all this
availeth
me nothing, so long
as
I
see
Mordecai
the
Jew
sitting
at the
kings
gate
.
strkjv@Esther:5:14
@ Then
said
Zeresh
his
wife
and all his
friends
unto him, Let a
gallows
be
made
of
fifty
cubits
high
, and to
morrow
speak
thou unto the
king
that
Mordecai
may be
hanged
thereon: then
go
thou in
merrily
with the
king
unto the
banquet
. And the
thing
pleased
Haman
; and he
caused
the
gallows
to be
made
.
