Esther 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Esther Plans a Banquet

Now it came^H1961 about^H1961 on the third^H7992 day^H3117 that Esther^H635 put^H3847 on^H3847 her royal^H4438 robes^H3847 and stood^H5975 in the inner^H6442 courtyard^H2691 of the king’s^H4428 palace^H1004 in front^H5227 of the king’s^H4428 [fn]rooms^H1004, and the king^H4428 was sitting^H3427 on his royal^H4438 throne^H3678 in the [fn]throne^H4438 room^H1004, opposite^H5227 the entrance^H6607 to the palace^H1004.

Est 5:2

Est 5:2When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the courtyard, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

Est 5:3

Est 5:3Then the king said to her, “What is troubling you, Queen Esther? And what is your request? Up to half of the kingdom it shall be given to you.”

Est 5:4

Est 5:4Esther said, “If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him.”

Est 5:5

Then the king^H4428 said^H559, “Bring^H4116 Haman^H2001 quickly^H4116 so that we may do^H6213 [fn]as Esther^H635 desires^H1697.” So the king^H4428 and Haman^H2001 came^H935 to the banquet^H4960 which^H834 Esther^H635 had prepared^H6213.

Est 5:6

Est 5:6 [fn]As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, “What is your request, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your wish? Up to half of the kingdom it shall be done.”

Est 5:7

Est 5:7So Esther replied, “My request and my wish is:

Est 5:8

Est 5:8if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my request and do [fn]what I wish, may the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do [fn]as the king says.”

Haman’s Pride

Est 5:9

Then Haman^H2001 went^H3318 out^H3318 that day^H3117 joyful^H8056 and pleased^H2896 of heart^H3820; but when Haman^H2001 saw^H7200 Mordecai^H4782 at the king’s^H4428 gate^H8179 and that he did not stand^H6965 up^H6965 or tremble^H2111 before^H4480 him, Haman^H2001 was filled^H4390 with anger^H2534 against^H5921 Mordecai^H4782.

Est 5:10

Est 5:10Haman controlled himself, however, and went to his house. But he [fn]sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh.

Est 5:11

Est 5:11Then Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and his many sons, and every occasion on which the king had honored him and how he had [fn]promoted him above the officials and servants of the king.

Est 5:12

Est 5:12Haman also said, “Even Esther the queen let no one except me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king.

Est 5:13

Est 5:13“Yet all of this [fn]does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”

Est 5:14

Est 5:14Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Have a wooden gallows [fn]fifty cubits high made, and in the morning ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet.” And the [fn]advice pleased Haman, so he had the wooden gallows made.
