Esther’s Banquet
1 Now it happened aon the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in bthe inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the1 house.
2 So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that ashe found favor in his sight, and bthe king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.
3 And the king said to her, “What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? aIt shall be given to you—up to half the kingdom!”
