CHAP. VII.
1 Esther intertaining the King and Haman, maketh
suit for her owne life, and her peoples.
5 She accuseth Haman. 7 The King in his
anger vnderstanding of the gallous, which
Haman had made for Mordecai, causeth him
to be hanged thereon.
1
So the King and Haman
came note to banquet with
Esther the Queene.
2
And the king said againe
vnto Esther, on the
second day at the banquet of wine,
What is thy petition, Queene Esther,
and it shalbe granted thee? and what is
thy request? and it shall bee performed,
euen to the halfe of the kingdome.
3
Then Esther the Queene answered,
and said; If I haue found fauour
in thy sight, O King, and if it please the
King, let my life be giuen 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 slaine, and to
perish: but if we had bene sold for bondmen,
and bondwomen, I had held my
tongue, although the enemy could not
counteruaile the kings dammage.
5
¶ Then the king Ahasuerus answered,
∧ said vnto Esther the Queene:
Who is he? and where is he, note that durst
presume in his heart to do so?
6
And Esther said, note The aduersary
and enemie, is this wicked Haman.
-- --
Haman hanged.
Then Haman was afraid note before the
King and the Queene.
7
¶ And the king arising from the
banquet of wine in his wrath, went into
the palace garden: and Haman stood
vp to make request for his life to Esther
the Queene: for he saw that there was
euill 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 was fallen
vpon the bed whereon Esther was.
Then said the King, Will hee force the
Queene also note before me in the house?
As the word went out of the Kings
mouth, they couered Hamans face.
9
And Harbonah one of the chamberlaines,
said before the king; Behold
also the note gallowes, fiftie cubites 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 thereon.
10
So they hanged Haman on the
gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai.
Then was the Kings wrath pacified.
