Contextual Overview

1 So the king and Haman went to eat with Queen Esther. 2 Then as they were drinking wine on the second day of the party, the king again asked Esther a question, "Queen Esther, what is it you want to ask for? Ask anything and it will be given to you. What do you want? I will give you anything, even half my kingdom." 3 Then Queen Esther answered, "King, if you like me and it pleases you, please let me live. And I ask you to let my people live too. This is what I ask for. 4 I ask this because my people and I have been sold to be destroyed—to be killed and wiped out completely. If we had just been sold as slaves, I would have kept quiet, because that would not be enough of a problem to bother the king." 5 Then King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, "Who did this to you? Where is the man who dared to do such a thing to your people?" 6 Esther said, "The man against us, our enemy, is this wicked Haman." Then Haman was filled with terror before the king and queen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. Or, "to drink with her" e, that is, wine; for in the next verse it is called a banquet of wine; so they did according to the invitation the queen had given them, Esther 5:8.

e לשתות "ut biberent", V. L. Tigurine version; "ad bibendum", Pagninus, Montanus, Drusius, Vatablus.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VII

The king at the banquet urges Esther to prefer her petition,

with the positive assurance that it shall be granted, 1, 2.

She petitions for her own life, and the life of her people,

who were sold to be destroyed, 3, 4.

The king inquires the author of this project, and Haman is

accused by the queen, 5, 6.

The king is enraged: Haman supplicates for his life; but the

king orders him to be hanged on the gallows he had prepared

for Mordecai, 7-10.
