Esther 7:1-10

So the king
<04428>
and Haman
<02001>
came
<0935> (8799)
to banquet
<08354> (8800)
with Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>_.
{to banquet: Heb. to drink}
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
again unto Esther
<0635>
on the second
<08145>
day
<03117>
at the banquet
<04960>
of wine
<03196>_,
What [is] thy petition
<07596>_,
queen
<04436>
Esther
<0635>_?
and it shall be granted
<05414> (8735)
thee: and what [is] thy request
<01246>_?
and it shall be performed
<06213> (8735)_,
[even] to the half
<02677>
of the kingdom
<04438>_.
Then Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
If I have found
<04672> (8804)
favour
<02580>
in thy sight
<05869>_,
O king
<04428>_,
and if it please
<02895> (8804)
the king
<04428>_,
let my life
<05315>
be given
<05414> (8735)
me at my petition
<07596>_,
and my people
<05971>
at my request
<01246>_:
For we are sold
<04376> (8738)_,
I and my people
<05971>_,
to be destroyed
<08045> (8687)_,
to be slain
<02026> (8800)_,
and to perish
<06> (8763)_.
But if
<0432>
we had been sold
<04376> (8738)
for bondmen
<05650>
and bondwomen
<08198>_,
I had held my tongue
<02790> (8689)_,
although the enemy
<06862>
could not countervail
<07737> (8802)
the king's
<04428>
damage
<05143>_.
{to be destroyed...: Heb. that they should destroy, and kill, and cause to perish}
Then the king
<04428>
Ahasuerus
<0325>
answered
<0559> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>_,
Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume
<04390> (8804)
in his heart
<03820>
to do
<06213> (8800)
so? {that...: Heb. whose heart hath filled him}
And Esther
<0635>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The adversary
<0376> <06862>
and enemy
<0341> (8802)
[is] this wicked
<07451>
Haman
<02001>_.
Then Haman
<02001>
was afraid
<01204> (8738)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>
and the queen
<04436>_.
{The adversary: Heb. The man adversary} {before: or, at the presence of}
And the king
<04428>
arising
<06965> (8804)
from the banquet
<04960>
of wine
<03196>
in his wrath
<02534>
[went] into the palace
<01055>
garden
<01594>_:
and Haman
<02001>
stood up
<05975> (8804)
to make request
<01245> (8763)
for his life
<05315>
to Esther
<0635>
the queen
<04436>_;
for he saw
<07200> (8804)
that there was evil
<07451>
determined
<03615> (8804)
against him by the king
<04428>_.
Then the king
<04428>
returned
<07725> (8804)
out of the palace
<01055>
garden
<01594>
into the place
<01004>
of the banquet
<04960>
of wine
<03196>_;
and Haman
<02001>
was fallen
<05307> (8802)
upon the bed
<04296>
whereon Esther
<0635>
[was]. Then said
<0559> (8799)
the king
<04428>_,
Will he force
<03533> (8800)
the queen
<04436>
also before me in the house
<01004>_?
As the word
<01697>
went out
<03318> (8804)
of the king's
<04428>
mouth
<06310>_,
they covered
<02645> (8804)
Haman's
<02001>
face
<06440>_.
{before me: Heb. with me}
And Harbonah
<02726>_,
one
<0259>
of the chamberlains
<05631>_,
said
<0559> (8799)
before
<06440>
the king
<04428>_,
Behold also, the gallows
<06086>
fifty
<02572>
cubits
<0520>
high
<01364>_,
which Haman
<02001>
had made
<06213> (8804)
for Mordecai
<04782>_,
who had spoken
<01696> (8765)
good
<02896>
for the king
<04428>_,
standeth
<05975> (8802)
in the house
<01004>
of Haman
<02001>_.
Then the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Hang
<08518> (8798)
him thereon. {gallows: Heb. tree}
So they hanged
<08518> (8799)
Haman
<02001>
on the gallows
<06086>
that he had prepared
<03559> (8689)
for Mordecai
<04782>_.
Then was the king's
<04428>
wrath
<02534>
pacified
<07918> (8804)_.
