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.
