    3 In every province where the king’s command and decree had reached, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

    4 When Esther’s attendants and eunuchs came and told her, the queen was deeply distressed. She sent clothes for Mordecai to wear so he could remove his sackcloth, but he refused them.

    5 Then Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs appointed to attend her, and ordered him to find out what was troubling Mordecai and why.

    6 Hathach went out to Mordecai in the square of the city in front of the king's gate.

    7 Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the king's treasury for the destruction of the Jews.

    8 He also gave him a copy of the text of the decree issued in Susa for their destruction, so that Hathach could show it to Esther and explain it to her, urging her to go to the king, plead for mercy, and intercede for her people.

But I have not been summoned to come to the king for thirty days.’

    12 When Mordecai was informed of what Esther said,

    13 he sent back this reply to her: ‘Do not think that because you are in the king's house you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.’
