Esther 5:3-5

Living Bible

³ Then the king asked her, “What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? I will give it to you, even if it is half the kingdom!”

⁴ And Esther replied, “If it please Your Majesty, I want you and Haman to come to a banquet I have prepared for you today.”

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