Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:
 

7:3 let my life be given me. Apparently for the first time both the king and Haman learned that Esther was a Jewess. Her life, along with that of Mordecai (who had saved the king’s life) would possibly be forfeited if Haman’s program were fully implemented.
