Esther 5:3-5

International Standard Version

³ The king asked her, “What do you want, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even if it’s half of the kingdom, it will be given to you.”

⁴ Esther replied, “If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet I’ve prepared for him.”

⁵ The king responded, “Bring Haman quickly so we may do what Esther has requested.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
