Esther 7:7

Context
7:7 In rage the king arose from the banquet of wine and withdrew to the palace garden. Meanwhile, Haman stood to beg Queen Esther for his life, 1  for he realized that the king had now determined a catastrophic end for him. 2 

1 sn There is great irony here in that the man who set out to destroy all the Jews now finds himself begging for his own life from a Jew.

2 tn Heb “for he saw that calamity was determined for him from the king”; NAB “the king had decided on his doom”; NRSV “the king had determined to destroy him.”
