'Answered' in the Bible

Esther answered, “This is my petition and my request:

The king’s attendants answered him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.”“Have him enter,” the king ordered.

Queen Esther answered, “If I have obtained your approval, my king, and if the king is pleased, spare my life—this is my request; and spare my people—this is my desire.

Esther answered, “The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman.”Haman stood terrified before the king and queen.

Esther answered, “If it pleases the king, may the Jews who are in Susa also have tomorrow to carry out today’s law, and may the bodies of Haman’s 10 sons be hung on the gallows.”
