Ester 7:2

Och när vinet dracks, sade konungen till Ester, också nu på andra dagen: »Vad är din bön, drottning Ester? Den vare dig beviljad. Och vad är din begäran? Gällde den ock hälften av riket, så skall den uppfyllas.»

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the king said again to Esther on the second day, at the banquet of wine,.... This was the third time he put the following question to her, being very desirous of knowing what she had to ask of him; and it was of God that this was kept upon his mind, and he was moved to solicit her petition, or otherwise it would not have been so easy for her to have introduced it:

what is thy petition, Queen Esther? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of my kingdom; see Esther 5:3.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 7:2. At the banquet of winePostquam vino incaluerat, after he had been heated with wine, says the Vulgate. In such a state the king was more likely to come into the measures of the queen.
