5:1 And
it
cometh
to
pass
on
the
third
day,
that
Esther
putteth
on
royalty,
and
standeth
in
the
inner-court
of
the
house
of
the
king
over-against
the
house
of
the
king,
and
the
king
is
sitting
on
his
royal
throne,
in
the
royal-house,
over-against
the
opening
of
the
house,
5:2 and
it
cometh
to
pass,
at
the
king's
seeing
Esther
the
queen
standing
in
the
court,
she
hath
received
grace
in
his
eyes,
and
the
king
holdeth
out
to
Esther
the
golden
sceptre
that
[is]
in
his
hand,
and
Esther
draweth
near,
and
toucheth
the
top
of
the
sceptre.
5:3 And
the
king
saith
to
her,
`What--to
thee
Esther,
O
queen
and
what
thy
request
unto
the
half
of
the
kingdom--and
it
is
given
to
thee.'
5:4 And
Esther
saith,
`If
unto
the
king
[it
be]
good,
the
king
doth
come
in,
and
Haman,
to-day,
unto
the
banquet
that
I
have
made
for
him;'
5:5 and
the
king
saith,
`Haste
ye
Haman--to
do
the
word
of
Esther;'
and
the
king
cometh
in,
and
Haman,
unto
the
banquet
that
Esther
hath
made.
5:6 And
the
king
saith
to
Esther,
during
the
banquet
of
wine,
`What
[is]
thy
petition
and
it
is
given
to
thee;
and
what
thy
request
unto
the
half
of
the
kingdom--and
it
is
done.'
5:7 And
Esther
answereth
and
saith,
`My
petition
and
my
request
[is]
:
5:8 if
I
have
found
grace
in
the
eyes
of
the
king,
and
if
unto
the
king
[it
be]
good,
to
give
my
petition,
and
to
perform
my
request,
the
king
doth
come,
and
Haman,
unto
the
banquet
that
I
make
for
them,
and
to-morrow
I
do
according
to
the
word
of
the
king.'
5:9 And
Haman
goeth
forth
on
that
day
rejoicing
and
glad
in
heart,
and
at
Haman's
seeing
Mordecai
in
the
gate
of
the
king,
and
he
hath
not
risen
nor
moved
for
him,
then
is
Haman
full
of
fury
against
Mordecai.
5:10 And
Haman
forceth
himself,
and
cometh
in
unto
his
house,
and
sendeth,
and
bringeth
in
his
friends,
and
Zeresh
his
wife,
5:11 and
Haman
recounteth
to
them
the
glory
of
his
wealth,
and
the
abundance
of
his
sons,
and
all
that
with
which
the
king
made
him
great,
and
with
which
he
lifted
him
up
above
the
heads
and
servants
of
the
king.
5:12 And
Haman
saith,
`Yea,
Esther
the
queen
brought
none
in
with
the
king,
unto
the
feast
that
she
made,
except
myself,
and
also
for
to-morrow
I
am
called
to
her,
with
the
king,
5:13 and
all
this
is
not
profitable
to
me,
during
all
the
time
that
I
am
seeing
Mordecai
the
Jew
sitting
in
the
gate
of
the
king.'
5:14 And
Zeresh
his
wife
saith
to
him,
and
all
his
friends,
`Let
them
prepare
a
tree,
in
height
fifty
cubits,
and
in
the
morning
speak
to
the
king,
and
they
hang
Mordecai
on
it,
and
go
thou
in
with
the
king
unto
the
banquet
rejoicing;'
and
the
thing
is
good
before
Haman,
and
he
prepareth
the
tree.
