Esther 7
7
Haman Hanged Instead of Mordecai
1So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther. 2And on the second day, #Esth. 5:6at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!”
3Then Queen Esther answered and said, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. 4For we have been #Esth. 3:9, 4:7sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as #Deut. 28:68male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss.”
5So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?”
6And Esther said, “The adversary and #Esth. 3:10enemy is this wicked Haman!”
So Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
7Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king. 8When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across #Esth. 1:6the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?”
As the word left the king’s mouth, they #Job 9:24covered Haman’s face. 9Now #Esth. 1:10Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! #Esth. 5:14; (Ps. 7:16; Prov. 11:5, 6)The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke #Esth. 6:2good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.”
Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”
10So #(Ps. 7:16; 94:23; Prov. 11:5, 6)they #Ps. 37:35, 36; Dan. 6:24hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.
