Esther:5:9-14

*
Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart :
but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king '
s gate ,
that he stood not up ,
nor moved for him ,
he was full of indignation against Mordecai .
*
Nevertheless Haman refrained himself :
and when he came home ,
he sent and called for his friends ,
and Zeresh his wife .
*
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches ,
and the multitude of his children ,
and all the things wherein the king had promoted him ,
and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king .
*
Haman said moreover ,
Yea ,
Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself ;
and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king .
*
Yet all this availeth me nothing ,
so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king '
s gate .
*
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him ,
Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high ,
and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon :
then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet .
And the thing pleased Haman ;
and he caused the gallows to be made .
