Esther 4:5-9

Esther 4:5-9 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the street of the city, which was before the king's gate. And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people. And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. Esther had no idea that her people were under a death warrant! She was living a great life in the palace and knew very little of the outside world. Her servant, Hatach, spoke with Mordecai and delivered the bad news to Queen Esther. Esther couldn’t believe her ears, but there was the copy of the decree, right there in her hands. What was going to happen to her cousin and her people? What could she do?
