## Esther 4:18 in Context (Verses 15–17 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/esther/4/15) ¶ Then Esther bade *them* return Mordecai *this answer*,
 
 [16 ](/kjv/esther/4/16) Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which *is* not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/esther/4/17) So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.*
 
[Esther 3](/kjv/esther/3) [Esther 5](/kjv/esther/5)
