  1 H4428 So the king H2001 and Haman H935 came [H8799]   H8354 to banquet [H8800]   H635 with Esther H4436 the queen.

  2 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799]   H635 again unto Esther H8145 on the second H3117 day H4960 at the banquet H3196 of wine H7596 , What is thy petition H4436 , queen H635 Esther H5414 ? and it shall be granted [H8735]   H1246 thee: and what is thy request H6213 ? and it shall be performed [H8735]   H2677 , even to the half H4438 of the kingdom.

  3 H635 Then Esther H4436 the queen H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H4672 , If I have found [H8804]   H2580 favour H5869 in thy sight H4428 , O king H2895 , and if it please [H8804]   H4428 the king H5315 , let my life H5414 be given [H8735]   H7596 me at my petition H5971 , and my people H1246 at my request:

  4 H4376 For we are sold [H8738]   H5971 , I and my people H8045 , to be destroyed [H8687]   H2026 , to be slain [H8800]   H6 , and to perish [H8763]   H432 . But if H4376 we had been sold [H8738]   H5650 for bondmen H8198 and bondwomen H2790 , I had held my tongue [H8689]   H6862 , although the enemy H7737 could not countervail [H8802]   H4428 the king's H5143 damage.

  5 H4428 Then the king H325 Ahasuerus H559 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H635 unto Esther H4436 the queen H4390 , Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume [H8804]   H3820 in his heart H6213 to do [H8800]   so?

  6 H635 And Esther H559 said [H8799]   H376 , The adversary H6862   H341 and enemy [H8802]   H7451 is this wicked H2001 Haman H2001 . Then Haman H1204 was afraid [H8738]   H6440 before H4428 the king H4436 and the queen.

  7 H4428 And the king H6965 arising [H8804]   H4960 from the banquet H3196 of wine H2534 in his wrath H1055 went into the palace H1594 garden H2001 : and Haman H5975 stood up [H8804]   H1245 to make request [H8763]   H5315 for his life H635 to Esther H4436 the queen H7200 ; for he saw [H8804]   H7451 that there was evil H3615 determined [H8804]   H4428 against him by the king.

  8 H4428 Then the king H7725 returned [H8804]   H1055 out of the palace H1594 garden H1004 into the place H4960 of the banquet H3196 of wine H2001 ; and Haman H5307 was fallen [H8802]   H4296 upon the bed H635 whereon Esther H559 was . Then said [H8799]   H4428 the king H3533 , Will he force [H8800]   H4436 the queen H1004 also before me in the house H1697 ? As the word H3318 went out [H8804]   H4428 of the king's H6310 mouth H2645 , they covered [H8804]   H2001 Haman's H6440 face.

  9 H2726 And Harbonah H259 , one H5631 of the chamberlains H559 , said [H8799]   H6440 before H4428 the king H6086 , Behold also, the gallows H2572 fifty H520 cubits H1364 high H2001 , which Haman H6213 had made [H8804]   H4782 for Mordecai H1696 , who had spoken [H8765]   H2896 good H4428 for the king H5975 , standeth [H8802]   H1004 in the house H2001 of Haman H4428 . Then the king H559 said [H8799]   H8518 , Hang [H8798]   him thereon.

  10 H8518 So they hanged [H8799]   H2001 Haman H6086 on the gallows H3559 that he had prepared [H8689]   H4782 for Mordecai H4428 . Then was the king's H2534 wrath H7918 pacified [H8804]  .
