Esther 7:1-10 — Haman Hanged
Esth.7.1-10
1So the king and Haman came to dine with Queen Esther. 2And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again asked Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It will be given to you. And what is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be done.” 3Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor in your eyes, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be granted to me as my petition, and my people as my request. 4For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept silent, because the adversary could not compensate for the king's loss." 5Then King Ahasuerus spoke up and said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is the one who has dared to do such a thing?” 6Esther replied, “An adversary and an enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen. 7The king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden, but Haman stood up to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king had determined a terrible fate for him. 8When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Will he even assault the queen while I am in the house?” As soon as the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. 9Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “Look, a gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai—who spoke good on the king's behalf—is standing at Haman's house.” The king said, “Hang him on it!” 10So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath subsided.
