Esther5:2
2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand . so Esther drew near, and touched the top of the scepter .
In testimony that he pardoned her presumption, and accepted her person, and was ready to grant her petition.
In token of her thankful acceptance of the Kings great favour, and of her reverence and submission to his Majesty, whereof that might possibly be an usual token, and it may be, at the kings call and invitation to her to come near to him.
