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 La petici贸n de Ester al rey
Al tercer d铆a del ayuno, Ester se puso las vestiduras reales y entr贸 en el patio interior del palacio, que daba justo frente a la sala del rey. El rey estaba sentado en su trono real, mirando hacia la entrada.
2 Cuando vio a la reina Ester de pie en el patio interior, ella logr贸 el favor del rey y 茅l le extendi贸 el cetro de oro. Entonces Ester se acerc贸 y toc贸 la punta del cetro.
3 Entonces el rey le pregunt贸:
鈥斅縌u茅 deseas, reina Ester? 驴Cu谩l es tu petici贸n? 隆Te la dar茅, aun si fuera la mitad del reino!
4 Y Ester contest贸:
鈥擲i al rey le agrada, venga el rey con Am谩n hoy al banquete que prepar茅 para el rey.
5 El rey se dirigi贸 a sus asistentes y dijo: 芦D铆ganle a Am谩n que venga de prisa a un banquete, como lo ha solicitado Ester禄. As铆 que el rey y Am谩n fueron al banquete preparado por Ester.
