Esther 6:1
On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.
On that night Ahasuerus, king of Persia, could not sleep, and at his command the book of records of the chronicles was brought and read before him. That nighttime reading brought to mind matters that had been neglected and left unattended. God employs such a simple means to awaken memory and stir conscience. By this awakening people are led to recognize past wrongs and to make restitution for them.
