Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Then the king held out the golden sceptre. Either Esther had again intruded on the king uninvited, or there was a double use of the golden sceptre. 1. In the pardon of those who so intruded; and, 2. In the ordinary granting of requests. It was perhaps held out on this occasion simply to express a readiness to do as Esther desired.
