CHAP. VII.
1 Esther entertaining the king and Haman,
maketh suit for her own life and her people's.
5 She accuseth Haman. 7 The king,
in his anger, hearing of the gallows which
Haman had made for Mordecai, causeth him
to be hanged upon it.
1 So the king and Haman came note to banquet
with Esther the queen.
2 And the king said again to Esther
on the second day at the banquet of wine,
What is thy petition, queen Esther? and
it shall be granted thee: and what is thy
request? and it shall be performed, even
to the half of the kingdom.
3 Then Esther the queen answered
and said, If I have found favor in thy
sight, O king, and if it shall please the
king, let my life be given me at my petition,
and my people at my request:
4 For we are sold, I and my people,
note to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish.
But if we had been sold for bond-men
and bond-women, I had held my
tongue, although the enemy could not
countervail the king's damage.
5 ¶2; Then the king Ahasuerus answered
and said to Esther the queen, Who is
he, and where is he, note that durst presume
in his heart to do so?
6 And Esther said, note The adversary
and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then
Haman was afraid note before the king and
the queen.
7 ¶2; And the king arising from the banquet
of wine in his wrath went into the
palace-garden: and Haman stood up to
make request for his life to Esther the
queen; for he saw that there was evil determined
against him by the king.
8 Then the king returned out of the
palace-garden into the place of the banquet
of wine; and Haman had fallen upon
the bed on which Esther was. Then
said the king, Will he force the queen
also note before me in the house? As the
word went out of the king's mouth, they
covered Haman's face.
9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains,
said before the king, Behold also,
the note gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman
had made for Mordecai, who had
spoken good for the king, standeth in the
house of Haman. Then the king said,
Hang him upon it.
10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows
that he had prepared for Mordecai.
Then was the king's wrath pacified.
