This passage is the pinnacle turning point that Esther has been building toward since chapter 1. Now Esther must carefully approach the most powerful man in the kingdom, knowing that his behavior is not predictable. She has to find a way to strategically confront her husband, condemn Haman, and reverse the edict against her people. Thankfully, God is at work in these insurmountable circumstances, and the glory of His divine judgment has only to be revealed.
