Esther 4:9

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

Esther 4:9 In-Context

7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him. He also told him the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to deposit in the royal bank to finance the massacre of the Jews.
8 Mordecai also gave him a copy of the bulletin that had been posted in Susa ordering the massacre so he could show it to Esther when he reported back with instructions to go to the king and intercede and plead with him for her people.
9 Hathach came back and told Esther everything Mordecai had said.
10 Esther talked it over with Hathach and then sent him back to Mordecai with this message:
11 "Everyone who works for the king here, and even the people out in the provinces, knows that there is a single fate for every man or woman who approaches the king without being invited: death. The one exception is if the king extends his gold scepter; then he or she may live. And it's been thirty days now since I've been invited to come to the king."
