    3Then the king asked her, "What is it, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given to you."

    4Esther replied, "If it pleases the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for him."

    5The king said, "Bring Haman quickly, so we may do as Esther asks." So the king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared.

    6As they were drinking wine at the banquet, the king again asked Esther, "What is your petition? It will be given to you. And what is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be done."
