King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now it came to pass[H1961] on the third[H7992] day,[H3117] that Esther[H635] put on[H3847] her royal[H4438] apparel, and stood[H5975] in the inner[H6442] court[H2691] of the king's[H4428] house,[H1004] over against[H5227] the king's[H4428] house:[H1004] and the king[H4428] sat[H3427] upon[H5921] his royal[H4438] throne[H3678] in the royal[H4438] house,[H1004] over against[H5227] the gate[H6607] of the house.[H1004]

2. And it was[H1961] so, when the king[H4428] saw[H7200] [H853] Esther[H635] the queen[H4436] standing[H5975] in the court,[H2691] that she obtained[H5375] favor[H2580] in his sight:[H5869] and the king[H4428] held out[H3447] to Esther[H635] [H853] the golden[H2091] scepter[H8275] that[H834] was in his hand.[H3027] So Esther[H635] drew near,[H7126] and touched[H5060] the top[H7218] of the scepter.[H8275]

3. Then said[H559] the king[H4428] unto her, What[H4100] wilt thou, queen[H4436] Esther?[H635] and what[H4100] is thy request?[H1246] it shall be even given[H5414] thee to[H5704] the half[H2677] of the kingdom.[H4438]

4. And Esther[H635] answered,[H559] If[H518] it seem good[H2895] unto[H5921] the king,[H4428] let the king[H4428] and Haman[H2001] come[H935] this day[H3117] unto[H413] the banquet[H4960] that[H834] I have prepared[H6213] for him.

5. Then the king[H4428] said,[H559] Cause[H853] Haman[H2001] to make haste,[H4116] that he may do[H6213] [H853] as Esther[H635] hath said.[H1697] So the king[H4428] and Haman[H2001] came[H935] to[H413] the banquet[H4960] that[H834] Esther[H635] had prepared.[H6213]

6. And the king[H4428] said[H559] unto Esther[H635] at the banquet[H4960] of wine,[H3196] What[H4100] is thy petition?[H7596] and it shall be granted[H5414] thee: and what[H4100] is thy request?[H1246] even to[H5704] the half[H2677] of the kingdom[H4438] it shall be performed.[H6213]

7. Then answered[H6030] Esther,[H635] and said,[H559] My petition[H7596] and my request[H1246] is;

8. If[H518] I have found[H4672] favor[H2580] in the sight[H5869] of the king,[H4428] and if[H518] it please[H2895] [H5921] the king[H4428] to grant[H5414] [H853] my petition,[H7596] and to perform[H6213] [H853] my request,[H1246] let the king[H4428] and Haman[H2001] come[H935] to[H413] the banquet[H4960] that[H834] I shall prepare[H6213] for them, and I will do[H6213] tomorrow[H4279] as the king[H4428] hath said.[H1697]

9. Then went Haman forth[H3318] [H2001] that[H1931] day[H3117] joyful[H8056] and with a glad[H2896] heart:[H3820] but when Haman[H2001] saw[H7200] [H853] Mordecai[H4782] in the king's[H4428] gate,[H8179] that he stood not up,[H6965] [H3808] nor[H3808] moved[H2111] for[H4480] him,[H2001] he[H2001] was full[H4390] of indignation[H2534] against[H5921] Mordecai.[H4782]

10. Nevertheless Haman[H2001] refrained himself:[H662] and when he came[H935] [H413] home,[H1004] he sent[H7971] and called[H935] for[H853] his friends,[H157] and Zeresh[H2238] his wife.[H802]

11. And Haman[H2001] told[H5608] them of[H853] the glory[H3519] of his riches,[H6239] and the multitude[H7230] of his children,[H1121] and all[H3605] the things wherein[H834] the king[H4428] had promoted[H1431] him, and how[H834] he had advanced[H5375] him above[H5921] the princes[H8269] and servants[H5650] of the king.[H4428]

12. Haman[H2001] said[H559] moreover,[H637] Yea, Esther[H635] the queen[H4436] did let no[H3808] man come in[H935] with[H5973] the king[H4428] unto[H413] the banquet[H4960] that[H834] she had prepared[H6213] but[H3588] [H518] myself; and tomorrow[H4279] am I[H589] invited[H7121] unto her also[H1571] with[H5973] the king.[H4428]

13. Yet all[H3605] this[H2088] availeth[H7737] me nothing,[H369] so long[H3605] [H6256] as I[H589] see[H7200] [H853] Mordecai[H4782] the Jew[H3064] sitting[H3427] at the king's[H4428] gate.[H8179]

14. Then said[H559] Zeresh[H2238] his wife[H802] and all[H3605] his friends[H157] unto him, Let a gallows[H6086] be made[H6213] of fifty[H2572] cubits[H520] high,[H1364] and tomorrow[H1242] speak[H559] thou unto the king[H4428] that[H853] Mordecai[H4782] may be hanged[H8518] thereon:[H5921] then go[H935] thou in merrily[H8056] with[H5973] the king[H4428] unto[H413] the banquet.[H4960] And the thing[H1697] pleased[H3190] [H6440] Haman;[H2001] and he caused the gallows[H6086] to be made.[H6213]
