Esther 7:4-10

4for 1we have been soldH4376, I and my peopleH5971, to be destroyedH8045, 2killedH2026, and eliminatedH6. Now ifH432 we had only been soldH4376 as slavesH8198H5650, menH5650 and womenH8198, I would have keptH2790 silentH2790, becauseH3588 the distressH6862 would not be sufficientH7737 reason to burdenH5143 the kingH4428.”

5Then KingH4428 AhasuerusH325 3askedH559 QueenH4436 EstherH635, “WhoH4310 is he, and whereH335 is he, 4whoH834 would presumeH4390H3820 to doH6213 suchH3651 a thing?”

6And EstherH635 saidH559, “5A foeH6862 and an enemyH340 is thisH2088 wickedH7451 HamanH2001!” Then HamanH2001 became terrifiedH1204 beforeH4480H6440 the kingH4428 and queenH4436.

7The kingH4428 then gotH6965 upH6965 6in his angerH2534 from 7drinkingH4960 wineH3196 and went into 8the 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 9placeH1004 where they had been drinkingH4960 wineH3196, HamanH2001 was fallingH5307 on 10the couchH4296 whereH834H5921 EstherH635 was. Then the kingH4428 saidH559, “Will he evenH1571 assaultH3533 the queenH4436 with me in the houseH1004?” As the wordH1697 wentH3318 outH3318 of the king’sH4428 mouthH6310, they coveredH2645 Haman’sH2001 faceH6440.

9Then HarbonahH2726, oneH259 of the eunuchsH5631 who stood beforeH6440 the kingH4428, saidH559, “IndeedH1571, beholdH2009, 11the woodenH6086 gallows standingH5975 at Haman’sH2001 houseH1004 12fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364, whichH834 HamanH2001 madeH6213 for MordecaiH4782 13whoH834 spokeH1696 goodH2896 inH5921 behalfH5921 ofH5921 the kingH4428!” And the kingH4428 saidH559, “HangH8518 him on it.”

1014So they hangedH8518 HamanH2001 on the woodenH6086 gallows whichH834 he had preparedH3559 for MordecaiH4782, 15and the king’sH4428 angerH2534 subsidedH7918.
