Esther 5:4
“And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.”
KJV
Read in Esther 5Meaning
Rather than disclose the crisis immediately, Esther creates a controlled setting in which she can speak strategically. Her restraint is part of the narrative's portrayal of careful timing, not indecision.
