Adam Clarke, on Esth 7:3
Adam Clarke · 1762–1832
Esth 7:3 · Douay-Rheims
“Then she answered: If I have found Favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request.”
On this verse:
“Let my life be given me - This was very artfully, as well as very honestly, managed; and was highly calculated to work on the feelings of the king. What! is the life of the queen, whom I most tenderly love, in any kind of danger?”
