Esther 7:3
“Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:”
KJV
Read in Esther 7Meaning
Esther identifies herself with the threatened Jews instead of presenting the decree as an abstract political problem. Her petition makes the king confront the fact that the policy endangers the queen herself.
