7:2a

on that second day: This does not mean that the feast lasted 2 days, but that it was the second feast that Esther had held. You could connect this phrase to 7:1, as in the Good News Translation:

And so the king and Haman went to eat with Esther for a second time

7:2b–c

What is your petition?…What is your request?: See note on 5:6b.
