Esther 7:6-10
6EstherH635 saidH559, “1A foeH6862 and an enemyH340 is thisH2088 wickedH7451 HamanH2001!” Then HamanH2001 became terrifiedH1204 beforeH4480H6440 the kingH4428 and queenH4436.
7The kingH4428 aroseH6965 2in his angerH2534 from 3drinkingH4960 wineH3196 and went into 4the palaceH1055 gardenH1593; but HamanH2001 stayedH5975 to begH1245 for his lifeH5315 from QueenH4436 EstherH635, for he sawH7200 that harmH7463 had been determinedH3615 againstH413 him by the kingH4428.
8Now when the kingH4428 returnedH7725 from the palaceH1055 gardenH1593 into the 5placeH1004 whereH4960 they were drinkingH4960 wineH3196, HamanH2001 was fallingH5307 on 6the couchH4296 whereH834H5921 EstherH635 was. Then the kingH4428 saidH559, “Will he evenH1571 assaultH3533 the queenH4436 with me in the houseH1004?” As the wordH1697 wentH3318 out of the king’sH4428 mouthH6310, they coveredH2645 Haman’sH2001 faceH6440.
9Then HarbonahH2726, oneH259 of the eunuchsH5631 who were beforeH6440 the kingH4428 saidH559, “BeholdH2009 indeedH1571, 7the gallowsH6086 standingH5975 at Haman’sH2001 houseH1004 fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364, whichH834 HamanH2001 madeH6213 for MordecaiH4782 8whoH834 spokeH1696 goodH2896 on behalfH5921 of the kingH4428!” And the kingH4428 saidH559, “HangH8518 him on it.”
109So they hangedH8518 HamanH2001 on the 10gallowsH6086 whichH834 he had preparedH3559 for MordecaiH4782, 11and the king’sH4428 angerH2534 subsidedH7918.
