Esther 7:2

Context
7:2 On the second day of the banquet of wine the king asked Esther, “What is your request, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your petition? Ask up to half the kingdom, and it shall be done!”

Esther 7:8

Context

7:8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet of wine, Haman was throwing himself down 1  on the couch where Esther was lying. 2  The king exclaimed, “Will he also attempt to rape the queen while I am still in the building!”

As these words left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.

1 tn Heb “falling”; NAB, NRSV “had (+ just TEV) thrown himself (+ down TEV).”

2 tn Heb “where Esther was” (so KJV, NASB). The term “lying” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons; cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT “was reclining.”
