Ester 5:5-6

5 Então disse o rei: Fazei Hamã apressar-se para que se cumpra a vontade de Ester. Vieram, pois, o rei e Hamã ao banquete que Ester tinha preparado.

6 De novo disse o rei a Ester, no banquete do vinho: Qual é a tua petição? e ser-te-á concedida; e qual é o teu rogo? e se te dará, ainda que seja metade do reino.

Ester 5:5-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ESTHER 5

This chapter gives an account of Esther's going in to the king, and of his holding out the golden sceptre to her, on which she invited him and Haman to a banquet of wine that day, and to another the next day, Es 5:1-8, which highly delighted Haman; and he went to his house and family with great joy, and yet chagrined at Mordecai's not bowing to him; wherefore, at the advice of his wife and friends, he erected a gallows to hang him upon, proposing to get a grant for it from the king the next day, Es 5:9-14.
