Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 ?
