Esther 5:4

Esther replied, ”If it seems good to the king, may the king and Haman come today to a banquet I have prepared for him.”
[Here in verse 4 the name of God JHVH is encoded in the four words translated ”may the king and Haman come today”. The initial letters form a forward acrostic pattern for God’s name Yahweh, see also Est. 1:20; 5:13; 7:7.]
