*
Then Esther the queen answered and said ,
If I have found favour in thy sight ,
O king ,
and if it please the king ,
let my life be given me at my petition sh @#
elah #,
and my people at my request :
*
For we are sold ,
I and my people ,
to be destroyed ,
to be slain ,
and to perish .
But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen ,
I had held my tongue ,
although the enemy could not countervail the kings damage .
*
Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen ,
Who is he ,
and where is he ,
that durst presume in his heart to do so ?
*
And Esther said ,
The adversary #
H6862and enemy is this wicked Haman .
Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen .
*
And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden :
and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen ;
for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king .
*
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine ;
and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was .
Then said the king ,
Will he force the queen also before me in the house ?
As the word went out of the kings mouth ,
they covered Hamans face .
*
And Harbonah ,
one of the chamberlains ,
said before the king ,
Behold also ,
the gallows fifty cubits high ,
which Haman had made for Mordecai ,
who had spoken good for the king ,
standeth in the house of Haman .
Then the king said ,
Hang him thereon .
*
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai .
Then was the kings wrath pacified .
