2 (15:10) Then he lift vp his face, that shoane with maiestie, and looked fiercely vpon her: therefore the Queene fell downe, and was pale and faint and leaned her selfe vpon the head of the mayde that went with her. (15:11) Neuerthelesse, God turned the Kings minde that he was gentle, who being carefull, leaped out of his throne, and tooke her in his armes, till she came to her selfe againe: and comforted her with louing wordes, and said, (15:12) Esther, what is the matter? I am thy brother, be of good cheare, (15:13) Thou shalt not die: for our commaundement toucheth the commons, and not thee. Come neere. (15:14) And so hee helde vp his golden scepter, and layd it vpon her necke, (15:15) And kissed her, and said, Talke with me. (15:16) Then said she, I saw thee, O lord, as an Angel of God, and mine heart was troubled for feare of thy maiestie. (15:17) For wonderfull art thou, O lord, and thy face is full of grace. (15:18) And as shee was thus speaking vnto him, shee fell downe againe for faintnesse. (15:19) Then the King was troubled, and all his seruants comforted her. 3 Then saide the King vnto her, What wilt thou, Queene Ester? & what is thy request? it shal be euen giuen thee to the halfe of ye kingdome.
