2And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) again unto Esther <0635> on the second <08145> day <03117> at the banquet <04960> of wine <03196>_, What [is] thy petition <07596>_, queen <04436> Esther <0635>_? and it shall be granted <05414> (8735) thee: and what [is] thy request <01246>_? and it shall be performed <06213> (8735)_, [even] to the half <02677> of the kingdom <04438>_.

But if <0432> we had been sold <04376> (8738) for bondmen <05650> and bondwomen <08198>_, I had held my tongue <02790> (8689)_, although the enemy <06862> could not countervail <07737> (8802) the king's <04428> damage <05143>_. {to be destroyed...: Heb. that they should destroy, and kill, and cause to perish}
5Then the king <04428> Ahasuerus <0325> answered <0559> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Esther <0635> the queen <04436>_, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume <04390> (8804) in his heart <03820> to do <06213> (8800) so? {that...: Heb. whose heart hath filled him}
