Haman Is Hanged
7 The king then got up (A)in his anger from [a]drinking wine and went into (B)the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king. 8 Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the [b]place where they had been drinking wine, Haman was falling on (C)the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?” As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
