Esther 7

1And the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935 to drinkH8354 with EstherH635 the queenH4436. 2And the kingH4428 saidH559 again to EstherH635 on the secondH8145 dayH3117, at the banquet of wineH3196, What is thy petitionH7596, queenH4436 EstherH635? and it shall be granted thee; and what is thy requestH1246? even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be done. 3And EstherH635 the queenH4436 answered and saidH559, If I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sight, O kingH4428, and if it please the kingH4428, let my lifeH5315 be givenH5414 me at my petitionH7596, and my peopleH5971 at my requestH1246; 4for we are soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, to be slainH2026, and to perishH6. But if we had been soldH4376 for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the adversary could not compensate the king's damage. 5And kingH4428 AhasuerusH325 spoke and saidH559 to EstherH635 the queenH4436, Who is he, and whereH834 is he that has filledH4390 his heartH3820 to do soH3651? 6And EstherH635 saidH559, The adversary and enemyH341 is this wickedH7451 HamanH2001. Then HamanH2001 was terrifiedH1204 before the kingH4428 and the queenH4436. 7And the kingH4428 in his wrathH2534 roseH6965 up from the banquet of wineH3196, [and went] into the palaceH1055 gardenH1594; but HamanH2001 stayed to make request for his lifeH5315 to EstherH635 the queenH4436, for he sawH7200 that there was evilH7451 determined against him by the kingH4428. 8And the kingH4428 returnedH7725 out of the palace gardenH1594 into the houseH1004 of the banquet of wineH3196, and HamanH2001 was fallenH5307 upon the couchH4296 on which EstherH635 was. And the kingH4428 saidH559, Will he even force the queenH4436 before me in the houseH1004? The wordH1697 wentH3318 forthH3318 out of the king's mouthH6310, and they coveredH2645 Haman's faceH6440. 9And Harbonah, oneH259 of the chamberlains, saidH559 before the kingH4428, Behold, alsoH1571, the gallowsH6086 fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364, that HamanH2001 madeH6213 for MordecaiH4782, who spokeH1696 goodH2896 for the kingH4428, standsH5975 in the houseH1004 of HamanH2001. And the kingH4428 saidH559, HangH8518 him on it! 10So they hangedH8518 HamanH2001 on the gallowsH6086 that he had preparedH3559 for MordecaiH4782. And the king's wrathH2534 was appeased.
