'Reply' in the Bible

But the eye of their God was on the elders of the Jews, and they did not stop them until a report could come to Darius, and then a written reply be returned concerning it.

Then Esther spoke to Hathach and ordered him to reply to Mordecai:

Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not imagine that you in the king’s palace can escape any more than all the Jews.

Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai,

“Then call, and I will answer;Or let me speak, then reply to me.

“For he has not arranged his words against me,Nor will I reply to him with your arguments.

“Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You?I lay my hand on my mouth.

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad,That I may reply to him who reproaches me.

I will stand on my guard postAnd station myself on the rampart;And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me,And how I may reply when I am reproved.
