Esther 7
So
the
king
and
Haman
came
to
banquet
with
Esther
the
queen.
2 And
the
king
said
again
unto
Esther
on
the
second
day
at
the
banquet
of
wine,
What
is
thy
a
petition,
queen
Esther?
and
it
shall
be
granted
thee:
and
what
is
thy
request?
and
it
shall
be
performed,
even
to
the
half
of
the
kingdom.
3 Then
Esther
the
queen
answered
and
said,
If
I
have
found
favour
in
thy
sight,
O
king,
and
if
it
please
the
king,
let
my
life
be
given
me
at
my
petition,
and
my
people
at
my
request:
4 For
we
are
a
sold,
I
and
my
people,
to
be
destroyed,
to
be
slain,
and
to
perish.
But
if
we
had
been
sold
for
bondmen
and
bondwomen,
I
had
held
my
tongue,
b
although
the
enemy
could
not
countervail
the
king's
damage.
5 Then
the
king
Ahasuerus
answered
and
said
unto
Esther
the
queen,
Who
is
he,
and
where
is
he,
that
durst
presume
in
his
heart
to
do
so?
6 And
Esther
said,
The
adversary
and
enemy
is
this
wicked
Haman.
Then
Haman
was
afraid
before
the
king
and
the
queen.
7 And
the
king
arising
from
the
banquet
of
wine
in
his
wrath
went
into
the
palace
a
garden:
and
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
was
fallen
upon
the
bed
whereon
Esther
was.
Then
said
the
king,
Will
he
force
the
queen
also
before
me
in
the
house?
As
the
word
went
out
of
the
king's
mouth,
they
covered
Haman's
face.
9 And
a
Harbonah,
one
of
the
chamberlains,
said
before
the
king,
Behold
also,
the
b
gallows
fifty
cubits
high,
which
Haman
had
made
for
c
Mordecai,
who
had
spoken
good
for
the
king,
standeth
in
the
house
of
Haman.
Then
the
king
said,
d
Hang
him
thereon.
10 So
they
hanged
Haman
on
the
a
gallows
that
he
had
prepared
for
Mordecai.
Then
was
the
king's
wrath
pacified.
