6 At the banquet of wine athe king said to Esther, b“What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request, up to half the kingdom? It shall be done!”
7 Then Esther answered and said, “My petition and request is this:
8 If I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and1 fulfill my request, then let the king and Haman come to the abanquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.”

9 So Haman went out that day ajoyful and with a glad heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, and bthat he did not stand or tremble before him, he was filled with indignation against Mordecai.
