Seeker Overlay ON
*
So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen .
*
And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine ,
What is thy petition ,
queen Esther ?
and it shall be granted thee :
and what is thy request ?
and it shall be performed ,
even to the half of the kingdom .
*
Then Esther the queen answered and said ,
If I have found favour in thy sight ,
O king ,
and if it please the king ,
let my life be given me at my petition ,
and my people at my request :
*
For we are sold ,
I and my people ,
to be destroyed ,
to be slain ,
and to perish .
But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen ,
I had held my tongue ,
although the enemy could not countervail the king '
s damage .
