Additions to Esther 4:57 In-Context

55 Then God changed the spirit of the king to gentleness, and in alarm he sprang from his throne and took her in his arms until she came to herself. And he comforted her with soothing words, and said to her,
56 "What is it, Esther? I am your brother. Take courage;
57 you shall not die, for our law applies only to the people. Come near."
58 Then he raised the golden scepter and touched it to her neck;
59 and he embraced her, and said, "Speak to me."
