Contextual Overview

⁵ And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this. ⁶ And Athach going out went to Mardochai, who was standing in the street of the city, before the palace gate: ⁷ And Mardochai told him all that had happened, how Aman had promised to pay money into the king’s treasures, to have the Jews destroyed. ⁸ He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people. ⁹ And Athach went back and told Esther all that Mardochai had said. ¹⁰ She answered him, and bade him say to Mardochai: ¹¹ All the king’s servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king’s inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? ¹² And when Mardochai had heard this, ¹³ He sent word to Esther again, saying: Think not that thou mayst save thy life only, because thou art in the king’s house, more than all the Jews: ¹⁴ For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father’s house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?
