Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Esther the queen answered and said,.... Not rolling herself at the king's knees, as Severus f writes; but rather, as the former Targum, lifting up her eyes to heaven, and perhaps putting up a secret ejaculation for direction and success:
if I have found favour in thy sight, O king; as she certainly had heretofore, and even now:
and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition; not riches, nor honour, nor any place or post at court, or in any of the king's dominions for any friend of her's, was her petition; but for her own life, that that might not be taken away, which was included in the grant the king had made to Haman, though ignorantly, to slay all the Jews, she being one of them:
and my people at my request; that is, the lives of her people also, that was her request; her own life and her people's were all she had to ask.
f Hist. Sacr. l. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Esther 7:3. Let my life be given me — This was very artfully, as well as very honestly, managed; and was highly calculated to work on the feelings of the king. What! is the life of the queen, whom I most tenderly love, in any kind of danger?
