ASV_Strong : Esther 7
1. So the king[H4428] and Haman[H2001] came[H935] to banquet[H8354] with Esther[H635] the queen[H4436].
2. And the king[H4428] said[H559] again unto Esther[H635] on the second[H8145] day[H3117] at the banquet[H4960] of wine[H3196], What is thy petition[H7596], queen[H4436] Esther[H635]? and it shall be granted[H5414] thee[H1246]: and what is thy request? even to the half[H2677] of the kingdom[H4438] it shall be performed[H6213].
3. Then Esther[H635] the queen[H4436] answered[H6030] and said[H559], If I have found[H4672] favor[H2580] in thy sight[H5869], O king[H4428], and if it please[H2895] the king[H4428], let my life[H5315] be given[H5414] me at my petition[H7596], and my people[H5971] at my request[H1246]:
4. for we are sold[H4376], I and my people[H5971], to be destroyed[H8045], to be slain[H2026], and to perish[H6]. But if[H432] we had been sold[H4376] for bondmen[H5650] and bondwomen[H8198], I had held my peace[H2790], although the adversary[H6862] could not have compensated[H7737] for the king[H4428]'s damage[H5143].
5. Then spake[H559] the king[H4428] Ahasuerus[H325] and said[H559] unto Esther[H635] the queen[H4436], Who is he[H4390], and where is he, that durst presume in his heart[H3820] to do so[H6213]?
6. And Esther[H635] said[H559], An adversary[H376] and an enemy[H341], even this wicked[H7451] Haman[H2001]. Then Haman[H2001] was afraid[H1204] before[H6440] the king[H4428] and the queen[H4436].
7. And the king[H4428] arose[H6965] in his wrath[H2534] from the banquet[H4960] of wine[H3196] and went into the palace[H1055] garden[H1594]: and Haman[H2001] stood up[H5975] to make request[H1245] for his life[H5315] to Esther[H635] the queen[H4436]; for he saw[H7200] that there was evil[H7451] determined[H3615] against him by the king[H4428].
8. Then the king[H4428] returned[H7725] out of the palace[H1055] garden[H1594] into the place[H1004] of the banquet[H4960] of wine[H3196]; and Haman[H2001] was fallen[H5307] upon the couch[H4296] whereon Esther[H635] was[H559]. Then said the king[H4428], Will he even force[H3533] the queen[H4436] before me in the house[H1004]? As the word[H1697] went out[H3318] of the king[H4428]'s mouth[H6310], they covered[H2645] Haman[H2001]'s face[H6440].
9. Then said[H559] Harbonah[H2726], one[H259] of the chamberlains[H5631] that were before[H6440] the king[H4428], Behold also[H6086], the gallows fifty[H2572] cubits[H520] high[H1364], which Haman[H2001] hath made[H6213] for Mordecai[H4782], who spake[H1696] good[H2896] for the king[H4428], standeth[H5975] in the house[H1004] of Haman[H2001]. And the king[H4428] said[H559], Hang him thereon[H8518].
10. So they hanged[H8518] Haman[H2001] on the gallows[H6086] that he had prepared[H3559] for Mordecai[H4782]. Then was the king[H4428]'s wrath[H2534] pacified[H7918].
