Esther summoned Hathach, one of the king's eunuchs assigned to attend to her, and ordered him to find out the reason for Mordecai's action. (Esther 4, 5)
So Hathach went out to Mordecai in the public square in front of the king's gate. (Esther 4, 6)
He also gave Hathach a copy of the written decree for their destruction, to show and explain to Esther. He further told him to urge her to go to the king to beg for mercy and intercede for her people: "Remember the days of your lowly estate when you were brought up in my charge. Haman, who is next to the king, has asked for our death. Pray to the Lord and speak to the king for us. Save us from death." (Esther 4, 8)
"All the king's servants and the people of his provinces know that any man or woman who goes to the king in the inner court without being summoned suffers the death penalty, unless the king grants them their life by holding out to them his golden scepter. But I have not been called to go to the king for thirty days now." (Esther 4, 11)

During the drinking of wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition? Speak up and it will be given. What is your request? Even half of my kingdom is yours for the asking." (Esther 5, 6)
After boasting about his vast wealth, his many sons, and the promotion he received from the king placing him above the officials and royal servants, (Esther 5, 11)
Haman added, "Besides, Queen Esther invited me alone to go with the king to the banquet she gave. And she has invited me again tomorrow together with the king. (Esther 5, 12)
Yet none of this satisfies me, as long as I see the Jew Mordecai sitting at the king's gate." (Esther 5, 13)
