As a prelude to this, she arranged two banquets. The Second Painting is similar to the first banquet, in which the three principal participants were Ahasuerus, Haman, and Esther. The Third Painting depicts gallows and various people who, like Haman and his family, thought they were immune from it. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Esther 5, Esther invites Ahasuerus and Haman to two banquets in preparation for presenting a petition for deliverance; and Haman prepares to hang Mordecai. Esther came before Ahasuerus, and he held out the royal scepter to her, thereby granting her his favor. He told her to ask anything up to half of the kingdom. She then asked the king and Haman to come to a banquet she had prepared. And the king and Haman came to the banquet (1-5). At the end of the banquet the king again asked what her request was and offered her anything up to half of the kingdom. She then invited the men to another banquet the next day with a promise to reveal her request at that time (6-8). Haman then went out joyfully; but when he saw Mordecai, who still refused to honor him, he was moved with indignation. But he refrained himself and went to his house and told his friends and family about all the glorious things which had happened to him. And when he told them about Mordecai's disrespect, they told him to erect a gallows and to ask the king to hang Mordecai on it. And Haman caused the gallows to be made (9-14). NOTE: Esther (fl. 483-473 B.C.) was contemporary with the following Biblical persons:; Nehemiah (served 445-425 B.C.); Joel (580-450 B.C. -- if this late date applies, rather than a date in the 9th century B.C.); Haggai (520 B.C.); Zechariah (520-518 B.C.); Ezra (538-456 B.C.).

However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
