CHAPTER 7 Haman's Plot Is Revealed

1 And they entered, the king and Haman, to drink together with the queen. 2 [⁴said ¹And ²the ³king] to Esther on the second day at the banquet, What is it queen Esther? And what is your request? And what is your petition? And it will be yours unto half of my kingdom! 3 And answering she said, If I found favor before the king, let him give life to my request, and my people to my petition. 4 [⁵were sold ¹For ²both I ³and ⁴my people] into destruction, and ravaging, and slavery; we, and both our children for manservants and maidservants, and I neglected to speak; [⁴is not ¹for ⁵worthy ²the ³slanderer] of the courtyard of the king. 5 [⁴said ¹And ²the ³king], Who is this who dared to do this thing? 6 And Esther said, A man, an enemy, Haman, this wicked man. And Haman was disturbed before the king and the queen. 7 And the king rose up from the party to go into the garden. And Haman appealed to the queen, for he saw himself [²in ³evils ¹being]. 8 [⁴returned ¹And ²the ³king] from out of the garden; and Haman had fallen upon the bed petitioning the queen. [⁴said ¹And ²the ³king], So as even with my wife you use force in my house. And Haman, hearing, was overawed in front of him. 9 [⁶said ¹And ²Harbonah ³one ⁴of the ⁵eunuchs] to the king, Behold, [²even ³a tree ¹Haman prepared] for Mordecai, to the one speaking for the king, and it was set straight up in the places of Haman -- [²cubits ¹of fifty]. [⁴said ¹And ²the ³king], Let him be crucified upon it! 10 And Haman was hung upon the tree which he prepared for Mordecai. And then the king slackened from the rage.
