Esther 6:2--7:10

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
<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)_.
