Greek Esther 4:7 In-Context

5 Esther then sent for Hathach the royal eunuch who served her. She sent him to discover from Mordecai what was going on.

7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened, how Haman had promised to contribute ten thousand sacks of silver to the royal treasury in exchange for the destruction of the Jews.

8 He also gave Hathach a copy of the king's order made public in Susa concerning the Jews' destruction so that Hathach could show it to Esther. Through him, Mordecai ordered her to go to the king to beg his help for her people: "Remember your more humble days when I raised you. Haman, a leader second to the king, has spoken against us to put us to death. Call on the Lord now and speak to the king about us. Deliver us from death!"

9 Hathach came back and told Esther what Mordecai had said.
