sprak de koning tot Ester, toen hij wijn gedronken had: Wat verzoekt gij? Het zal u gegeven worden; en wat begeert gij? Al was het de helft des koninkrijks, het zal geschieden.
Bij het drinkgelag zeide de koning tot Ester: Wat is uw bede? Zij zal ingewilligd worden. En wat is uw verlangen? Tot de helft mijns koninkrijks--er zal naar gedaan worden.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine,.... For such it seems the banquet was she prepared; it was not properly a meal, neither dinner nor supper, but a drinking bout; or, however, it was at that part of the banquet in which wine was drank that the king accosted Esther, when he began to be cheerful with it. The Persians at their meals had two courses: the first consisted of meats, c. at which they drank water, the other of fruits, when they drank wine Aelianus i says, the Persians, after they are filled with food, indulge themselves in drinking wine:
what is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed; by which it appears he retained the same affection for Esther, and the same disposition to show her kindness. See Esther 5:3.
i Var. Hist. l. 12. c. 1.
