Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on Esth 5:8
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · 1871
Esth 5:8 · Douay-Rheims
“If I have found favour in the king’s sight, and if it please the king to give me what I ask, and to fulfill my petition: let the king and Aman come to the banquet which I have prepared them, and tomorrow I will open my mind to the king.”
On this verse:
“let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare--The king ate alone, and his guests in an adjoining hall; but they were admitted to sit with him at wine. Haman being the only invited guest with the king and queen, it was natural that he should have been elated with the honor. Next: Esther Chapter 6”
