7 Then the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, pleading for his life, for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king.
8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the banquet of wine, Haman had fallen across athe couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he also assault the queen while I am in the house?” As the word left the king’s mouth, they bcovered Haman’s face.
9 Now aHarbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, “Look! bThe gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke cgood on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman.” Then the king said, “Hang him on it!”
10 So athey bhanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.
