Ester 5:3 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 5:3

Then said the king unto her, what wilt thou, Queen Esther?
&c.] He supposed she had some business with him, some suit to make to him, by her coming in this manner:

and what is thy request?
signifying he was ready to grant it, be it what it would:

it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom;
as it was usual with the Persian kings to give their wives cities for certain purposes, (See Gill on Esther 2:18), here Ahasuerus, out of his great affection to Esther, offers half of his dominions, his one hundred and twenty seven provinces; meaning that he would grant her anything, and everything that was reasonable, and even magnificent; it is an hyperbolical and courtly way of speaking, and which has been used in later times, and in other countries; see ( Mark 6:23 ) .

Ester 5:3 In-Context

1 Y aconteció al tercer día que Ester se vistió con sus vestiduras reales y se puso en el atrio interior del palacio del rey delante de los aposentos del rey, y el rey estaba sentado en su trono real en el aposento del trono, frente a la entrada del palacio.
2 Y cuando el rey vio a la reina Ester de pie en el atrio, ella obtuvo gracia ante sus ojos; y el rey extendió hacia Ester el cetro de oro que estaba en su mano. Ester entonces se acercó y tocó el extremo del cetro.
3 Y el rey le dijo: ¿Qué te preocupa, reina Ester? ¿Y cuál es tu petición? Hasta la mitad del reino se te dará.
4 Ester respondió: Si le place al rey, venga hoy el rey con Amán al banquete que le he preparado.
5 Entonces el rey dijo: Traed pronto a Amán para que hagamos como Ester desea. Y el rey vino con Amán al banquete que Ester había preparado.
