THE KING HELD OUT TO ESTHER THE GOLDEN SCEPTRE THAT WAS IN HIS HAND
ESTHER 5:1-3
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,
OVER AGAINST
THE KING'S HOUSE:
AND THE KING SAT
UPON HIS ROYAL THRONE
IN THE ROYAL HOUSE,
OVER AGAINST
THE GATE OF THE HOUSE.
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.
THEN SAID THE KING UNTO HER,
WHAT WILT THOU, QUEEN ESTHER?
AND WHAT IS THY REQUEST?
IT SHALL BE EVEN GIVEN THEE
TO THE HALF OF THE KINGDOM.
LOVE
