ESTHER 5
ESTHER STANDS BEFORE THE KING, HAMAN PLOTS MORDECAI’S DEATH
After three days of fasting, Esther stands in the inner courts before the king’s throne. Instead of having her killed for her interruption, King Xerxes favors Esther. Esther invites King Xerxes and Haman to a feast that she has prepared for both that night and the following night.
After the first night of feasting, Haman sees Mordecai within the courtyard and is filled with rage. Remembering his hatred towards Mordecai, Haman orders for gallows to be made for Mordecai’s death, to either hang or impale him the following day.
STUDY QUESTIONS
Why do you think Esther requested to host a feast for the king and Haman instead of first asking the king to reverse the decree?
What did Haman have prepared for Mordecai? Do you think this was foolish or preemptive?
