E S T H E R CHAP. IV. We left God's Isaac bound upon the altar and ready to be sacrificed, and the enemies triumphing in the prospect of it; but things here begin to work towards a deliverance, and they begin at the right end. I. The Jews' friends lay to heart the danger and lament it, Esther 4:1-4 . II. Matters are concerted between Mordecai and Esther for the preventing of it. 1. Esther enquires into this case, and receives a particular account of it, Esther 4:5-7 . 2. Mordecai urges her to intercede with the king for a revocation of the edict, Esther 4:8 ; Esther 4:9 . III. Esther objects the danger of addressing the king uncalled, Esther 4:10-12 . IV. Mordecai presses her to venture, Esther 4:13 ; Esther 4:14 . V. Esther, after a religious fast of three days, promises to do so ( Esther 4:15-17 ), and we shall find that she sped well. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-4" class="com-number"
