[1] So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. [2] The king said again to Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine, “What is your petition, queen Esther? It shall be granted you. What is your request? Even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.” [3] Then Esther the queen answered, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. [4] For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for male and female slaves, I would have held my peace, although the adversary could not have compensated for the king’s loss.” [5] Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, and where is he who dared presume in his heart to do so?” [6] Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!”Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen. [7] The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen, for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. [8] Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in front of me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. [9] Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were with the king, said, “Behold, the gallows fifty cubitsⓘ high, which Haman has made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, is standing at Haman’s house.”The king said, “Hang him on it!” [10] So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath was pacified.

[1] So the king H4428 and Haman H2001 came H935 to banquet H8354§ with H5973 Esther H635 the queen. H4436 [2] And the king H4428 said H559 again unto Esther H635 on the second H8145 day H3117 at the banquet H4960 of wine, H3196 What is thy petition, H7596 queen H4436 Esther? H635 and it shall be granted H5414 thee: and what is thy request? H1246 and it shall be performed, H6213 even to the half H2677 of the kingdom. H4438 [3] Then Esther H635 the queen H4436 answered H6030 and said, H559 If I have found H4672 favour H2580 in thy sight, H5869 O king, H4428 and if it please H2895 the king, H4428 let my life H5315 be given H5414 me at my petition, H7596 and my people H5971 at my request: H1246 [4] for H3588 we are sold, H4376 I and my people, H5971 to be destroyed, H8045 to be slain, H2026 and to perish. H6§ But if H432 we had been sold H4376 for H3588 bondmen H5650 and bondwomen, H8198 I had held my tongue, H2790 although the enemy H6862 could not countervail H7737 the king’s H4428 damage. H5143 [5] Then the king H4428 Ahasuerus H325 answered H559 and said H559 unto Esther H635 the queen, H4436 Who H834 is he, and where is he, that durst presume H4390 in his heart H3820§ to do H6213 so? [6] And Esther H635 said, H559 The adversary H376§ H6862 and enemy H341 is this wicked H7451 Haman. H2001 Then Haman H2001 was afraid H1204 before H6440§ the king H4428 and the queen. H4436 [7] And the king H4428 arising H6965 from the banquet H4960 of wine H3196 in his wrath H2534 went into the palace H1055 garden: H1594 and Haman H2001 stood up H5975 to make request H1245 for H3588 his life H5315 to Esther H635 the queen; H4436 for H3588 he saw H7200 that there was evil H7451 determined H3615 against H5921 him by the king. H4428 [8] Then the king H4428 returned H7725 out of the palace H1055 garden H1594 into the place H1004 of the banquet H4960 of wine; H3196 and Haman H2001 was fallen H5307 upon H5921 the bed H4296 whereon Esther H635 was. Then said H559 the king, H4428 Will he force H3533 H853 the queen H4436 also H1571 before me§ in the house? H1004 As the word H1697 went out H3318 of the king’s H4428 mouth, H6310 they covered H2645 Haman’s H2001 face. H6440 [9] And Harbonah, H2726 one H259 of the chamberlains, H5631 said H559 before H6440 the king, H4428 Behold H2009 also, the gallows H6086§ fifty H2572 cubits H520 high, H1364 which H834 Haman H2001 had made H6213 for Mordecai, H4782 who H834 had spoken H1696 good H2896 for the king, H4428 standeth H5975 in the house H1004 of Haman. H2001 Then the king H4428 said, H559 Hang H8518 him thereon. [10] So they hanged H8518 H853 Haman H2001 on H5921 the gallows H6086 that he had prepared H3559 for Mordecai. H4782 Then was the king’s H4428 wrath H2534 pacified. H7918
