Contextual Overview

⁵Then Esther summoned Hathach from the king's eunuchs, whom the king had appointed to attend her, and commanded him to go to Mordecai to know what this was and why it was. ⁶So Hathach went out to Mordecai to the city square in front of the king's gate. ⁷And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the exact amount of silver that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries to cause the Jews to perish. ⁸He also gave him a copy of the written law which had been given in Susa for their destruction, in order to show Esther and to tell her and to command her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to seek him out for her people. ⁹Then Hathach came back and told Mordecai's words to Esther. ¹⁰Then Esther spoke to Hathach and commanded him to reply to Mordecai: ¹¹"All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days." ¹²So they told Esther's words to Mordecai. ¹³Then Mordecai said for them to respond to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's house can escape any more than all the Jews. ¹⁴For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not reached royalty for such a time as this?"
