The king holds out the golden scepter to Esther the queen standing in the court, and Esther asks the king and Haman to her banquet
왕이 뜰에 선 왕후 에스더에게 금홀을 내어밀고 에스더가 왕과 하만을 잔치에 청함
Esther 5:1–5: on the third day, Esther puts on her royal clothing and stands in the inner court of the king’s house, next to the king’s house. The king sits on his royal throne in the royal house, next to the entrance of the house. When the king sees Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtains favor in his sight; and the king holds out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther comes near and touches the top of the scepter. The king asks her, “What would you like, queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given you even to the half of the kingdom.” Esther says, “If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.” The king says, “Bring Haman quickly, so that it may be done as Esther has said.” So the king and Haman come to the banquet that Esther had prepared. The Korean Revised Version does not name the one who sees at 5:2 (it runs on from 5:1, where the king sits on his throne), names Esther twice there, and reads 심히 사랑스러우므로 (because she was very lovely) where WEB reads “she obtained favor in his sight”; at 5:4 it tells first that Esther has prepared a banquet for the king today, and then says 왕이 선히 여기시거든 (if it seems good to the king).
