1 # So the king <04428> and Haman <02001> came <0935> (8799) to banquet <08354> (8800) with Esther <0635> the queen <04436>.
2 And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) again unto Esther <0635> on the second <08145> day <03117> at the banquet <04960> of wine <03196>, What is thy petition <07596>, queen <04436> Esther <0635>? and it shall be granted <05414> (8735) thee: and what is thy request <01246>? and it shall be performed <06213> (8735), even to the half <02677> of the kingdom <04438>.
3 Then Esther <0635> the queen <04436> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), If I have found <04672> (8804) favour <02580> in thy sight <05869>, O king <04428>, and if it please <02895> (8804) the king <04428>, let my life <05315> be given <05414> (8735) me at my petition <07596>, and my people <05971> at my request <01246> :
4 For we are sold <04376> (8738), I and my people <05971>, to be destroyed <08045> (8687), to be slain <02026> (8800), and to perish <06> (8763). But if <0432> we had been sold <04376> (8738) for bondmen <05650> and bondwomen <08198>, I had held my tongue <02790> (8689), although the enemy <06862> could not countervail <07737> (8802) the king's <04428> damage <05143>.
5 Then the king <04428> Ahasuerus <0325> answered <0559> (8799) and said <0559> (8799) unto Esther <0635> the queen <04436>, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume <04390> (8804) in his heart <03820> to do <06213> (8800) so?
6 And Esther <0635> said <0559> (8799), The adversary <0376> <06862> and enemy <0341> (8802) is this wicked <07451> Haman <02001>. Then Haman <02001> was afraid <01204> (8738) before <06440> the king <04428> and the queen <04436>.
7 # And the king <04428> arising <06965> (8804) from the banquet <04960> of wine <03196> in his wrath <02534> went into the palace <01055> garden <01594>: and Haman <02001> stood up <05975> (8804) to make request <01245> (8763) for his life <05315> to Esther <0635> the queen <04436>; for he saw <07200> (8804) that there was evil <07451> determined <03615> (8804) against him by the king <04428>.
8 Then the king <04428> returned <07725> (8804) out of the palace <01055> garden <01594> into the place <01004> of the banquet <04960> of wine <03196>; and Haman <02001> was fallen <05307> (8802) upon the bed <04296> whereon Esther <0635> was. Then said <0559> (8799) the king <04428>, Will he force <03533> (8800) the queen <04436> also before me in the house <01004>? As the word <01697> went out <03318> (8804) of the king's <04428> mouth <06310>, they covered <02645> (8804) Haman's <02001> face <06440>.
9 And Harbonah <02726>, one <0259> of the chamberlains <05631>, said <0559> (8799) before <06440> the king <04428>, Behold also, the gallows <06086> fifty <02572> cubits <0520> high <01364>, which Haman <02001> had made <06213> (8804) for Mordecai <04782>, who had spoken <01696> (8765) good <02896> for the king <04428>, standeth <05975> (8802) in the house <01004> of Haman <02001>. Then the king <04428> said <0559> (8799), Hang <08518> (8798) him thereon.
10 So they hanged <08518> (8799) Haman <02001> on the gallows <06086> that he had prepared <03559> (8689) for Mordecai <04782>. Then was the king's <04428> wrath <02534> pacified <07918> (8804).
