Esther 5:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ While they were drinking wine,^[a] the king asked Esther, “What’s your petition? It will be given to you. What’s your request? Up to half of the kingdom, and it will be done.”

⁷ Esther answered, “This is my petition and my request: ⁸ If I’ve found favor with the king and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and to honor my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I’ll prepare for them tomorrow, and then I’ll do what the king has said.”
