Est. 5:8• 8Si he hallado gracia en los ojos del rey, y si place al rey otorgar mi petición y hacer mi demanda, que venga el rey con Amán al banquete que les dispondré; y mañana haré conforme á lo que el rey ha mandado. (Est. 5:8)

Pr. 29:11• 11El necio da suelta á todo su espíritu; Mas el sabio al fin le sosiega. (Pr. 29:11)
the banquet.
{Mishteh,} from {shathah,} "to drink," acompotation.
feast, or banquet accompanied with drinking; the drinking in the East being at the beginning, and not at the end of the entertainment. Olearius, describing an entertainment at the Persian court, says, "The floor of the hall was covered with cotton cloth, which was covered with all sorts of fruits and sweetmeats in basons of gold.
With them was served up excellent Shiraz wine.
After an hour's time, the sweetmeats were removed, to make way for the more substantial part of the entertainment, such as rice, boiled and roast mutton, etc.
When the company had been at table an hour and a half, warm water was brought, in a ewer of gold, for washing; and grace being said, they began to retire without speaking a word, according to the custom of the country."

• Here we see something worthy of remark. A new trait appears in Esther's character. She, the obedient daughter, the timid and fearful young queen is now decided and dedicated, and appears to us to be invested with wisdom and prudence. (“Chapter 3: Mordecai and Esther” by H.L. Rossier)
