* And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him , and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the kings treasuries for the Jews , to destroy them . * Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them , to shew it unto Esther , and to declare it unto her , and to charge her that she should go in unto the king , to make supplication unto him , and to make request before him for her people . * And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai . * Again Esther spake unto Hatach , and gave him commandment unto Mordecai ; * All the kings servants , and the people of the kings provinces , do know , that whosoever , whether man or woman , shall come unto the king into the inner court , who is not called , there is one law of his to put him to death , except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre , that he may live : but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days . * And they told to Mordecai Esthers words . * Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther , Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the kings house , more than all the Jews . * For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time , then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place ; but thou and thy fathers house shall be destroyed : and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this ?
