ES-7:1 So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the
queen.
ES-7:2 And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at
the banquet of wine, What [is] thy 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.
ES-7:3 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:
ES-7:4 For we are 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, although the enemy could not
countervail the king's damage.
ES-7:5 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?
ES-7:6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy [is] this wicked
Haman. Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.
ES-7:7 And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his
wrath [went] into the palace 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.
ES-7:8 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.
ES-7:9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the
king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman
had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king,
standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him
thereon.
ES-7:10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared
for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
