Esther 5:11-14 and Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children,––and all the things wherein the king had promoted him to power, and how he had advanced him, above the rulers and the servants of the king.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ and Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children,––and all the things wherein the king had promoted him to power, and how he had advanced him, above the rulers and the servants of the king. ¹² And Haman said, Moreover Esther the queen did bring in no one with the king into the banquet which she had prepared, saving myself,––yea moreover, even for tomorrow, I, am invited unto her, with the king. ¹³ Yet, all this, sufficeth me not,––so long as, I, see Mordecai the Jew, sitting in the gate of the king. ¹⁴ Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let them make ready a gallows, of the height of fifty cubits, and, in the morning, speak thou unto the king, that they hang Mordecai thereon, then go with the king into the banquet joyfully. And the thing seemed good before Haman, and he made ready the gallows.
