* So Haman went out that day joyful and with a glad heart ; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king 's gate , and that he did not stand or tremble before him , he was filled with indignation against Mordecai . * Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home , and he sent and called for his friends and his wife Zeresh . * Then Haman told them of his great riches , the multitude of his children , everything in which the king had promoted him , and how he had advanced him above the officials and servants of the king . * Moreover Haman said , "Besides , Queen Esther invited no one but me to come in with the king to the banquet that she prepared ; and tomorrow I am again invited by her , along with the king . * Yet all this avails me nothing , so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king 's gate ." * Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him , "Let a gallows be made , fifty cubits high , and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it ; then go merrily with the king to the banquet ." And the thing pleased Haman ; so he had the gallows made .
