Esther 5:4-8

Esther answered, “My king, if it pleases you, come today with Haman to a banquet that I have prepared for you.” Then the king said, “Bring Haman quickly so we may do what Esther asks.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet Esther had prepared for them. As they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, “Now, what are you asking for? I will give it to you. What is it you want? I will give you as much as half of my kingdom.” Esther answered, “This is what I want and what I ask for. My king, if you are pleased with me and if it pleases you, give me what I ask for and do what I want. Come with Haman tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for you. Then I will answer your question about what I want.”
