Esther 7:3 DBY

²  And the king said again to Esther on the second day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be done.

³  And Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found grace in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request;

⁵  And king Ahasuerus spoke and said to Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he that has filled his heart to do so?
