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)_.
