Book 17 Esther Chapter 007

 

007:001So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

 

007:002And the king said again unto 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.

 

007:003Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found
favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my
life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request:

 

007:004For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be
slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and
bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not
countervail the king's damage.

 

007:005Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the
queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his
heart to do so?

 

007:006And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman.
Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

 

007:007And 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.

 

007:008Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place
of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed
whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the
queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of
king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

 

007:009And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king,
Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had
made for Mordecai, who spoken good for the king, standeth in
the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon.

 

007:010So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for
Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
