Ester 5:8

Listen to Ester 5:8
8 si he hallado gracia ante los ojos del rey, y si le place al rey conceder mi petición y hacer lo que yo pido, que venga el rey con Amán al banquete que yo les prepararé, y mañana haré conforme a la palabra del rey.

Ester 5:8 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 5:8

If I have found favour in the sight of the king
Or, seeing she had; for it was a clear case she had, both by his holding out the golden sceptre to her, and by accepting her invitation to her banquet:

and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my
request;
as he had been so gracious as to promise in such a large and liberal manner as before expressed:

let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for
them;
the Targum says, in the evening; but from ( Esther 5:12 ) , it appears to be on the morrow; and which agrees with what follows:

and I will do tomorrow as the king hath said;
make her petition and request to him; which she had deferred, partly in hope of still increasing his affection to her, and partly to prepare him to expect something of moment and importance to be asked of him. Jarchi restrains this to what he supposes the king had often importuned her to tell, namely, who were her people and her kindred.

Ester 5:8 In-Context

6 Y mientras bebían el vino en el banquete, el rey dijo a Ester: ¿Cuál es tu petición?, pues te será concedida. ¿Y cuál es tu deseo? Aun hasta la mitad del reino, se te dará.
7 Respondió Ester, y dijo: Mi petición y mi deseo es:
8 si he hallado gracia ante los ojos del rey, y si le place al rey conceder mi petición y hacer lo que yo pido, que venga el rey con Amán al banquete que yo les prepararé, y mañana haré conforme a la palabra del rey.
9 Salió Amán aquel día alegre y con corazón contento; pero cuando Amán vio a Mardoqueo en la puerta del rey y que éste no se levantaba ni temblaba delante de él, Amán se llenó de furor contra Mardoqueo.
10 Amán, sin embargo, se contuvo, fue a su casa, y mandó traer a sus amigos y a su mujer Zeres.
