Esther 7:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Esther 7:9

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.
