But it has been a month now since the king has sent for me.” See the chapterWorld English Bible - American English Edition - without Strong's Numbers11 ‘All the nations of the empire know that any man or woman who goes in to the king into the inner court without being called, that person must die, unless the king stretches out his golden sceptre; then he shall live.
