“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.”
So Mordecai went and did everything that Esther had ordered him, demonstrating his compliance with her request and his agreement with her plan. This shows how leadership can shift moment to moment, with Esther taking the initiative while Mordecai becomes the executor of her will. The verse shows mutual commitment and shared responsibility as both work toward the salvation of their people, with Esther accepting the greater personal risk by approaching the king.
