Esther 5:5-8

Living Bible

⁵ The king turned to his aides. “Tell Haman to hurry!” he said. So the king and Haman came to Esther’s banquet.

⁶ During the wine course the king said to Esther, “Now tell me what you really want, and I will give it to you, even if it is half of the kingdom!”

^7-8 Esther replied, “My request, my deepest wish, is that if Your Majesty loves me and wants to grant my request, that you come again with Haman tomorrow to the banquet I shall prepare for you. And tomorrow I will explain what this is all about.”
