Esther Chapter 15
Esther comes into the king's presence: she is terrified, but God turns his heart.
15:1. And he commanded her (no doubt but he was Mardochai) to go to the king, and petition for her people, and for her country.
15:2. Remember, (said he,) the days of thy low estate, how thou wast brought up by my hand, because Aman the second after the king hath spoken against us unto death.
15:3. And do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king for us, and deliver us from death.
15:4. And on the third day she laid away the garments she wore, and put on her glorious apparel.
15:5. And glittering in royal robes, after she had called upon God the ruler and Saviour of all, she took two maids with her,
15:6. And upon one of them she leaned, as if for delicateness and overmuch tenderness she were not able to bear up her own body.
15:7. And the other maid followed her lady, bearing up her train flowing on the ground.
15:8. But she with a rosy colour in her face, and with gracious and bright eyes hid a mind full of anguish, and exceeding great fear.
