Esther 5

Now it came to pass on the third
<07992>
day
<03117>_,
that Esther
<0635>
put on
<03847> (8799)
[her] royal
<04438>
[apparel], and stood
<05975> (8799)
in the inner
<06442>
court
<02691>
of the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_,
over against
<05227>
the king's
<04428>
house
<01004>_:
and the king
<04428>
sat
<03427> (8802)
upon his royal
<04438>
throne
<03678>
in the royal
<04438>
house
<01004>_,
over against
<05227>
the gate
<06607>
of the house
<01004>_.
And it was so, when the king
<04428>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>
standing
<05975> (8802)
in the court
<02691>_,
[that] she obtained
<05375> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in his sight
<05869>_:
and the king
<04428>
held out
<03447> (8686)
to Esther
<0635>
the golden
<02091>
sceptre
<08275>
that [was] in his hand
<03027>_.
So Esther
<0635>
drew near
<07126> (8799)_,
and touched
<05060> (8799)
the top
<07218>
of the sceptre
<08275>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
the king
<04428>
unto her, What wilt thou, queen
<04436>
Esther
<0635>_?
and what [is] thy request
<01246>_?
it shall be even given
<05414> (8735)
thee to the half
<02677>
of the kingdom
<04438>_.
And Esther
<0635>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
If [it seem] good
<02895> (8804)
unto the king
<04428>_,
let the king
<04428>
and Haman
<02001>
come
<0935> (8799)
this day
<03117>
unto the banquet
<04960>
that I have prepared
<06213> (8804)
for him.
Then the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Cause Haman
<02001>
to make haste
<04116> (8761)_,
that he may do
<06213> (8800)
as Esther
<0635>
hath said
<01697>_.
So the king
<04428>
and Haman
<02001>
came
<0935> (8799)
to the banquet
<04960>
that Esther
<0635>
had prepared
<06213> (8804)_.
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Esther
<0635>
at the banquet
<04960>
of wine
<03196>_,
What [is] thy petition
<07596>_?
and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)
thee: and what [is] thy request
<01246>_?
even to the half
<02677>
of the kingdom
<04438>
it shall be performed
<06213> (8735)_.
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
Esther
<0635>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
My petition
<07596>
and my request
<01246>
[is];
If I have found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in the sight
<05869>
of the king
<04428>_,
and if it please
<02895> (8804)
the king
<04428>
to grant
<05414> (8800)
my petition
<07596>_,
and to perform
<06213> (8800)
my request
<01246>_,
let the king
<04428>
and Haman
<02001>
come
<0935> (8799)
to the banquet
<04960>
that I shall prepare
<06213> (8799)
for them, and I will do
<06213> (8799)
to morrow
<04279>
as the king
<04428>
hath said
<01697>_.
{perform: Heb. do}
Then went
<03318> (0)
Haman
<02001>
forth
<03318> (8799)
that day
<03117>
joyful
<08056>
and with a glad
<02896>
heart
<03820>_:
but when Haman
<02001>
saw
<07200> (8800)
Mordecai
<04782>
in the king's
<04428>
gate
<08179>_,
that he stood not up
<06965> (8804)_,
nor moved
<02111> (8804)
for him, he
<02001>
was full
<04390> (8735)
of indignation
<02534>
against Mordecai
<04782>_.
Nevertheless Haman
<02001>
refrained
<0662> (8691)
himself: and when he came
<0935> (8799)
home
<01004>_,
he sent
<07971> (8799)
and called
<0935> (8686)
for his friends
<0157> (8802)_,
and Zeresh
<02238>
his wife
<0802>_.
{called...: Heb. caused to come}
And Haman
<02001>
told
<05608> (8762)
them of the glory
<03519>
of his riches
<06239>_,
and the multitude
<07230>
of his children
<01121>_,
and all [the things] wherein the king
<04428>
had promoted
<01431> (8765)
him, and how he had advanced
<05375> (8765)
him above the princes
<08269>
and servants
<05650>
of the king
<04428>_.
Haman
<02001>
said
<0559> (8799)
moreover, Yea, Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>
did let no man come in
<0935> (8689)
with the king
<04428>
unto the banquet
<04960>
that she had prepared
<06213> (8804)
but myself; and to morrow
<04279>
am I invited
<07121> (8803)
unto her also with the king
<04428>_.
Yet all this availeth
<07737> (8802)
me nothing, so long as
<06256>
I see
<07200> (8802)
Mordecai
<04782>
the Jew
<03064>
sitting
<03427> (8802)
at the king's
<04428>
gate
<08179>_.
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Zeresh
<02238>
his wife
<0802>
and all his friends
<0157> (8802)
unto him, Let a gallows
<06086>
be made
<06213> (8799)
of fifty
<02572>
cubits
<0520>
high
<01364>_,
and to morrow
<01242>
speak
<0559> (8798)
thou unto the king
<04428>
that Mordecai
<04782>
may be hanged
<08518> (8799)
thereon: then go
<0935> (8798)
thou in merrily
<08056>
with the king
<04428>
unto the banquet
<04960>_.
And the thing
<01697>
pleased
<03190> (8799) <06440>
Haman
<02001>_;
and he caused
<06213> (0)
the gallows
<06086>
to be made
<06213> (8799)_.
{gallows: Heb. tree}
