Esther 4:11

Context
4:11 “All the servants of the king and the people of the king’s provinces know that there is only one law applicable 1  to any man or woman who comes uninvited to the king in the inner court – that person will be put to death, unless the king extends to him the gold scepter, permitting him to be spared. 2  Now I have not been invited to come to the king for some thirty days!”

Esther 8:5

Context
