Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what {is} thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

But as for me, my prayer {is} unto thee, O LORD, {in} an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.

Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what {is} thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give {it} thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.
