Ester 5:5-6

5 E il re disse: "Fate venir subito Haman, per fare ciò che Ester ha detto". Così il re e Haman vennero al convito che Ester avea preparato.

6 E il re disse ad Ester, mentre si beveva il vino: "Qual è la tua richiesta? Ti sarà concessa. Che desideri? Fosse anche la metà del regno, l’avrai".

Ester 5:5-6 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ESTHER 5

This chapter gives an account of Esther's going in to the king, and of his holding out the golden sceptre to her, on which she invited him and Haman to a banquet of wine that day, and to another the next day, Es 5:1-8, which highly delighted Haman; and he went to his house and family with great joy, and yet chagrined at Mordecai's not bowing to him; wherefore, at the advice of his wife and friends, he erected a gallows to hang him upon, proposing to get a grant for it from the king the next day, Es 5:9-14.
