Esther 7:3-10

3 Then Queen Esther answered, ^d“If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request. 4 ^eFor we have been sold, I and my people, ^fto be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king.” 5 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who has dared ^{▼▼Hebrew whose heart has filled him} to do this?” 6 And Esther said, ^h“A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.

Haman Is Hanged

7 And the king arose in his wrath from the wine-drinking and went into ⁱthe palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm was determined against him by the king. 8 And the king returned from ^jthe palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on ^kthe 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 ^lHarbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, ^mthe gallows ^{▼▼Or stake; also verse 10} that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, ^owhose 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.” ^qSo they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. ^rThen the wrath of the king abated.
