When the time came for Esther to go to the king, she didn’t ask for anything. She only wanted Hegai, the king’s eunuch {\cf2\super [10]} that was in charge of the king’s women, to suggest what she should take. (Esther is the girl Mordecai had adopted, the daughter of his uncle Abihail). Everyone that looked at Esther liked her.
“Mordecai, all the king’s leaders and all the people of the king’s provinces know this: The king has one law for any man or woman that goes to the king without being called. He must be put to death. The only way this law is not carried out is if the king puts out his gold scepter {\cf2\super [15]} to the person. If the king does that, then that person’s life will be saved. And I have not been called to go see the king for 30 days.”
