Esther 5:1--7:10

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}

On that night
<03915>

could not
<05074> (8804)

the king
<04428>

sleep
<08142>_,

and he commanded
<0559> (8799)

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the book
<05612>

of records
<02146>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>_;

and they were read
<07121> (8737)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{could...: Heb. the king's sleep fled away}

And it was found
<04672> (8735)

written
<03789> (8803)_,

that Mordecai
<04782>

had told
<05046> (8689)

of Bigthana
<0904>

and Teresh
<08657>_,

two
<08147>

of the king's
<04428>

chamberlains
<05631>_,

the keepers
<08104> (8802)

of the door
<05592>_,

who sought
<01245> (8765)

to lay
<07971> (8800)

hand
<03027>

on the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_.

{Bigthana: also called, Bigthan} {door: Heb. threshold}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What honour
<03366>

and dignity
<01420>

hath been done
<06213> (8738)

to Mordecai
<04782>

for this? Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

servants
<05288>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto him, There is nothing
<01697>

done
<06213> (8738)

for him.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] in the court
<02691>_?

Now Haman
<02001>

was come
<0935> (8804)

into the outward
<02435>

court
<02691>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

to speak
<0559> (8800)

unto the king
<04428>

to hang
<08518> (8800)

Mordecai
<04782>

on the gallows
<06086>

that he had prepared
<03559> (8689)

for him.

And the king's
<04428>

servants
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, Haman
<02001>

standeth
<05975> (8802)

in the court
<02691>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let him come in
<0935> (8799)_.

So Haman
<02001>

came in
<0935> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What shall be done
<06213> (8800)

unto the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_?

Now Haman
<02001>

thought
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

To whom would the king
<04428>

delight
<02654> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

honour
<03366>

more
<03148>

than to myself? {whom the king...: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth}

And Haman
<02001>

answered
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

For the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_,

{whom the king...: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth}

Let the royal
<04438>

apparel
<03830>

be brought
<0935> (8686)

which the king
<04428>

[useth] to wear
<03847> (8804)_,

and the horse
<05483>

that the king
<04428>

rideth
<07392> (8804)

upon, and the crown
<03804>

royal
<04438>

which is set
<05414> (8738)

upon his head
<07218>_:

{Let...: Heb. Let them bring the royal apparel} {which the king...: Heb. wherewith the king clotheth himself}

And let this apparel
<03830>

and horse
<05483>

be delivered
<05414> (8800)

to the hand
<03027>

of one
<0376>

of the king's
<04428>

most noble
<06579>

princes
<08269>_,

that they may array
<03847> (8689)

the man
<0376>

[withal] whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_,

and bring
<07392> (8689)

him on horseback
<05483>

through the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_,

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

before
<06440>

him, Thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

to the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_.

{bring...: Heb. cause him to ride}

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Haman
<02001>_,

Make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

[and] take
<03947> (8798)

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

even so to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

at the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_:

let nothing
<01697>

fail
<05307> (8686)

of all that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

{let...: Heb. suffer not a whit to fall}

Then took
<03947> (8799)

Haman
<02001>

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

and arrayed
<03847> (8686)

Mordecai
<04782>_,

and brought him on horseback
<07392> (8686)

through the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_,

and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, Thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_.

And Mordecai
<04782>

came again
<07725> (8799)

to the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_.

But Haman
<02001>

hasted
<01765> (8738)

to his house
<01004>

mourning
<057>_,

and having his head
<07218>

covered
<02645> (8802)_.

And Haman
<02001>

told
<05608> (8762)

Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

and all his friends
<0157> (8802)

every [thing] that had befallen
<07136> (8804)

him. Then said
<0559> (8799)

his wise men
<02450>

and Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

unto him, If Mordecai
<04782>

[be] of the seed
<02233>

of the Jews
<03064>_,

before
<06440>

whom thou hast begun
<02490> (8689)

to fall
<05307> (8800)_,

thou shalt not prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, but shalt surely
<05307> (8800)

fall
<05307> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

And while they [were] yet talking
<01696> (8764)

with him, came
<05060> (8689)

the king's
<04428>

chamberlains
<05631>_,

and hasted
<0926> (8686)

to bring
<0935> (8687)

Haman
<02001>

unto the banquet
<04960>

that Esther
<0635>

had prepared
<06213> (8804)_.

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
