Esther 4

Mordecai learns of Haman's decree to annihilate the Jews, tears his clothes, dons sackcloth and ashes (שַׂק וָאֵפֶר), and mourns publicly before the king's gate, prompting widespread Jewish fasting and lamentation. Through the eunuch Hathach, he urges Esther to plead (בָּקַשׁ) with Ahasuerus despite the mortal risk of uninvited approach, warning that silence will not save her and declaring she came to the kingdom 'for such a time as this'; Esther resolves to fast with her maids and the Jews of Shushan for three days, then go to the king, saying 'if I perish (אָבַד), I perish.'
