SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:5
Y respondió el rey: Daos prisa, llamad a Amán, para que haga el mandamiento de Ester. Vino, pues, el rey con Amán al banquete que Ester dispuso.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. Then the king said, cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said , etc.] That is, he ordered some of his servants to make haste and acquaint Haman with the queen’s invitation, and to press him to make haste to comply with it: so the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared ; which was wisely done, to prepare for what she had to say to the king, when cheerful with wine, and when she had her adversary with him alone.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Esther having had power with God, and prevailing, like Jacob, had powe with men too. He that will lose his life for God, shall save it, or find it in a better life. The king encouraged her. Let us from this be encouraged to pray always to our God, and not to faint. Esther came to a proud, imperious man; but we come to the God of love and grace. Sh was not called, but we are; the Spirit says, Come, and the Bride says Come. She had a law against her, we have a promise, many a promise, i favour of us; Ask, and it shall be given you. She had no friend to go with her, or to plead for her; on the contrary, he that was then the king's favourite, was her enemy; but we have an Advocate with the Father, in whom he is well pleased. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace. God put it into Esther's heart to delay her petition day longer; she knew not, but God did, what was to happen in that very night.
