Esther 7:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the house of wine drinking, Haman was falling on the couch(A) where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually violate the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the statement left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.(B)
9 Harbona, one of the royal eunuchs,(C) said: “There is a gallows 75 feet[a] tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai,(D) who gave the report that saved[b] the king.”(E)
The king commanded, “Hang him on it.”
10 They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.(F) Then the king’s anger subsided.(G)
