Esther 5:10-14
10Nevertheless, HamanH2001 restrained himselfH662 and wentH935H413 homeH1004. And calling forH7971H935 his friendsH157 and his wifeH802 ZereshH2238, 11HamanH2001 recountedH5608 to them his gloriousH3519 wealthH6239, his manyH7230 sonsH1121, andH853 all the waysH3605 the kingH4428 had honoredH1431 and promoted himH5375 overH5921 the other officialsH8269 and servantsH5650.
12“What is moreH637,” HamanH2001 addedH559, “QueenH4436 EstherH635 invitedH935 noH3808 oneH3588 butH518 meH853 to joinH5973 the kingH4428 atH413 the banquetH4960 she preparedH6213, and IH589 am invitedH7121 backH1571 tomorrowH4279 along withH5973 the kingH4428. 13Yet noneH3605H369 of thisH2088 satisfiesH7737 me asH3605 longH6256 asH834 IH589 seeH7200 MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064 sittingH3427 at the king’sH4428 gateH8179.”
14His wifeH802 ZereshH2238 and allH3605 his friendsH157 toldH559 him, “Have them buildH6213 a gallowsH6086 fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364,1 and askH559 the kingH4428 in the morningH1242 to have MordecaiH4782 hangedH8518 on itH5921. Then goH935 toH413 the banquetH4960 withH5973 the kingH4428 and enjoy yourselfH8056.”
The adviceH1697H6440 pleasedH3190 HamanH2001, and he had the gallowsH6086 constructedH6213.
