Esther
Esther asked Mordecai to gather the Jews in Susa to fast for her, and she said she would go to the king, even though it was against the law (Esther 4:16). She concluded, “and if I perish, I perish” (Esther 4:16).
16Go, gather together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast you for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in to the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
