Esther 7:5
“Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?”
KJV
Read in Esther 7Meaning
The king's question turns Esther's carefully framed petition into an immediate search for responsibility. The danger is no longer an impersonal decree; someone in the court must answer for it.
