Esther 8:3
βAnd Esther spake yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.β
KJV
Read in Esther 8Meaning
Haman is dead, but the legal threat remains. Esther therefore risks another appeal, shifting the crisis from the removal of its author to the problem of the decree itself.
