Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

held out: Esther 4:11, Esther 5:2

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then the king held out the golden sceptre towards Esther,.... As a token that she had not incurred his displeasure by coming into his presence without leave, and that she was admitted to speak and make her request; see Esther 5:3

so Esther arose and stood before the king; she rose from the ground on which she lay prostrate, and stood upon her feet, in an humble manner, to make her speech, and present her petition to the king.
