1Ki 20:16-20, Est 5:8, 12-14, 7:1-2, 8-10, Isa 21:4, Dan 5:4-6, Nah 1:10 | ESV | STEP | And they went out at noon , while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the booths , he and the thirty-two kings who helped him.

16 And they went out at noon, while Ben-hadad ^awas drinking himself drunk in the booths, he and the thirty-two kings who helped him. 17 The servants of the governors of the districts went out first. And Ben-hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, “Men are coming out from Samaria.” 18 He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive. Or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”

19 So these went out of the city, the servants of the governors of the districts and the army that followed them. 20 And each struck down his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them, but Ben-hadad king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.

Esther 5:8

8 ^bIf I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my wish and fulfill my request, let the king and Haman come to ^cthe feast that I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.”

Esther 5:12-14

12 Then Haman said, “Even Queen Esther let no one but me come with the king to the feast she prepared. And tomorrow also I am invited by her together with the king. 13 Yet all this is worth nothing to me, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting ^dat the king’s gate.” 14 Then ^ehis wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, ^f“Let a gallows ^{▼▼Or stake; twice in this verse} fifty cubits ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged upon it. Then go joyfully with the king to the feast.” This idea pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.

Esther 7:1-2

1 So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther. 2 And on the second day, as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king again said to Esther, ⁱ“What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? ^jEven to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.”

Esther 7:8-10

8 And the king returned from ^kthe palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on ^lthe couch where Esther was. And the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?” As the word left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman’s face. 9 Then ^mHarbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, ⁿthe gallows ^{▼▼Or stake; also verse 10} that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, ^pwhose word saved the king, is standing at Haman’s house, fifty cubits ^{▼▼A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters} high.” 10 And the king said, “Hang him on that.” ^rSo they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. ^sThen the wrath of the king abated.

Isaiah 21:4

4 My heart staggers; horror has appalled me;
^tthe twilight I longed for
has been turned for me into trembling.

Daniel 5:4-6

4 They drank wine and ^upraised the ^vgods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.

5 ^wImmediately ^xthe fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, opposite the lampstand. And the king saw ^ythe hand as it wrote. 6 ^zThen the king’s color changed, ^aaand his thoughts alarmed him; ^abhis limbs gave way, and ^achis knees knocked together.

Nahum 1:10

10 For they are ^adlike entangled thorns,
like drunkards as they drink;
^aethey are consumed like stubble fully dried.
