Reformed 1771 · An Exposition of the Old and New Testament, Esther 5:5

John Gill, on Esth 5:5

John Gill · 1697–1771
Esth 5:5 · Douay-Rheims
“And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther’s will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them.”
On this verse:
“Then the king said, cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said,.... That is, he ordered some of his servants to make haste and acquaint Haman with the queen's invitation, and to press him to make haste to comply with it: so the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared; which was wisely done, to prepare for what she had to say to the king, when cheerful with wine, and when she had her adversary with him alone.”
