Today I read Esther 8:

The king gave Haman’s estate to Queen Esther, and his signet ring to Mordecai, and although the kings previous order could not be revoked, the king allowed Mordecai to write a new one on the king’s behalf for the Jews to be able to assemble and protect themselves, and to plunder their enemies.

I read Esther 7:

Esther finally told the king her request to spare her life and also the life of all the other Jews, indicating that Haman was the man who arranged for their annihilation. The King ordered that Haman be executed on the structure he built for Mordecai.

I read Esther 6 today:

Haman had to parade Mordecai around town honoring him, even though he planned to execute him, then he was rushed to the second banquet with Esther and the king.

Today I read Esther 5:

Esther went to the king and was invited to approach him, and he asked her what she wanted. She invited Haman and the king to a banquet she prepared and another banquet on the following day, but Haman had a tall structure built for Mordecai to be executed on.

This morning I read Esther 4:

Esther discovers the plot to annihilate all of the Jews because of Mordecai’s public mourning. Mordecai requests an appeal to the king. Esther requests a three day fast for all of the Jews.
