7 And the king arose in his wrath from the wine-drinking and went into ⁱthe palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm was determined against him by the king. 8 And the king returned from ⁱthe palace garden to the place where they were drinking wine, as Haman was falling on ^jthe couch where Esther was. And the king said, “Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?” As the word left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman’s face. 9 Then ^kHarbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, “Moreover, ^lthe gallows¹ that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, ^mwhose word saved the king, is standing at Haman’s house, fifty cubits² high.” And the king said, “Hang him on that.” 10 ⁿSo they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. ^oThen the wrath of the king abated.
