Est 5, 1-14

1 Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, opposite to the king's house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, opposite to the gate of the house. 2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre. 3 Then said the king unto her, What will you, queen Esther? and what is your request? it shall be even given you to the half of the kingdom. 4 And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. 5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther has said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared. 6 And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is your petition? and it shall be granted you: and what is your request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed. 7 "Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is; " 8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow as the king has said. 9 Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai. 10 Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife. 11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king. 12 "Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow am I invited unto her also with the king. " 13 Yet all this avails me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate. 14 "Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak you unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go you in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made. "

Est 5, 1-14





Est 5,1 - Ako vošla kráľovná Ester ku kráľovi, podrobne opisuje dodatok 15,4–9. "Vnútorný dvor kráľovského domu" je budova vyhradená pre obydlie kráľov, "kráľovský palác" v užšom zmysle. Zaujímal juhovýchodnú čiastku celého opevneného hradu, ako to potvrdili vykopávky. Zo zbrojnice viedla brána do vnútorného dvora, ktorý bol obkľúčený štyrmi krídlami paláca. V južnom krídle bola kráľova zasadacia sieň.

Est 5,2 - "Pobozkala" – podľa hebr. "dotkla sa" berly.

Est 5,3 - Keďže Ester prišla nehlásená a bez zavolania ku kráľovi, z toho kráľ súdil, že ju priviedla dôležitá vec. "Polovicu kráľovstva" porov. 5,6; 7,2; Mk 6,23.

Est 5,4 - Prosbou, ktorú chcela Ester kráľovi predniesť, žiadala zmenu kráľovského rozkazu. Ale to bolo niečo neobyčajného. Preto Ester vedela, že teraz v tejto veci sotva by mohla niečo dosiahnuť. Preto žiada kráľa, aby prišiel opätovne k nej na obed.

Est 5,14 - Vysoká šibenica na 50 lakťov: jej výška je udaná asi okrúhle, akoby tým bolo naznačené, že bola veľmi vysoká. Je v tom aj istá irónia: Keď sa Mardochej nechcel pokoriť, bude za to čo najviac vyvýšený!
