1. Esther 4:11הַמֶּלֶךְ֩ · the king; הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · king
   “All the royal officials and the people of the king’s provinces know that one law applies to every man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned—that he be put to death. Only if the king extends the gold scepter may that person live. But I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the past thirty days.”
2. Esther 4:13הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · in the king’s
   …he sent back to her this reply: “Do not imagine that because you are in the king’s palace you alone will escape the fate of all the Jews.
3. Esther 4:16הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · the king
   “Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!”
4. Esther 5:1הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙; הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ · the king’s; וְ֠הַמֶּלֶךְ · The king
   On the third day, Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the palace across from the king’s quarters. The king was sitting on his royal throne in the royal courtroom, facing the entrance.
5. Esther 5:2הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ · As soon as the king; הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ · The king
   As soon as the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, she found favor in his sight. The king extended the gold scepter in his hand toward Esther, and she approached and touched the tip of the scepter.
6. Esther 5:3הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · the king
   “What is it, Queen Esther?” the king inquired. “What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be given to you.”
7. Esther 5:4הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ · may the king
   “If it pleases the king,” Esther replied, “may the king and Haman come today to the banquet I have prepared for the king.”
8. Esther 5:5הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · So the king
   “Hurry,” commanded the king, “and bring Haman, so we can do as Esther has requested.” So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
9. Esther 5:6הַמֶּ֤לֶךְ · the king
   And as they drank their wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition? It will be given to you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be fulfilled.”
10. Esther 5:8הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ · of the king; הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · the king; הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ · may the king; הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ · the king’s
    If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and fulfill my request, may the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet I will prepare for them. Then I will answer the king’s question.”
11. Esther 5:9הַמֶּ֗לֶךְ · At the king’s
    That day Haman went out full of joy and glad of heart. At the king’s gate, however, he saw Mordecai, who did not rise or tremble in fear at his presence. And Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
12. Esther 5:11הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · the king; הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
    Haman recounted to them his glorious wealth, his many sons, and all the ways the king had honored and promoted him over the other officials and servants.
13. Esther 5:12הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ · the king
    “What is more,” Haman added, “Queen Esther invited no one but me to join the king at the banquet she prepared, and I am invited back tomorrow along with the king.
14. Esther 5:13הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ · at the king’s
    Yet none of this satisfies me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
15. Esther 5:14לַמֶּ֗לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֥לֶךְ · the king
    His wife Zeresh and all his friends told him, “Have them build a gallows fifty cubits high, and ask the king in the morning to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the king and enjoy yourself.” The advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows constructed.
16. Esther 6:1הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ · him
    That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles, to be brought in and read to him.
17. Esther 6:2הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · the king’s; בַּמֶּ֖לֶךְ · King
    And there it was found recorded that Mordecai had exposed Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
18. Esther 6:3הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · The king; הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · the king’s
    The king inquired, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this act?” “Nothing has been done for him,” replied the king’s attendants.
19. Esther 6:4הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙; לַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · the king
    “Who is in the court?” the king asked. Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.
20. Esther 6:5הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · So the king’s; הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king
    So the king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” “Bring him in,” ordered the king.
21. Esther 6:6הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · and the king; הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ · would the king
    Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?” Now Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?”
22. Esther 6:7הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king
    And Haman told the king, “For the man whom the king is delighted to honor,
23. Esther 6:8הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ · the king himself; הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ · the king himself
    …have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one with a royal crest placed on its head.
24. Esther 6:9הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ · of the king’s; הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king; הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ · the king
    Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’”
25. Esther 6:10הַמֶּ֜לֶךְ · the king
    “Hurry,” said the king to Haman, “and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested.”
