Esther 7:7-10
Christian Standard Bible
7 The king arose in anger(A) and went from where they were drinking wine to the palace garden.[a](B) Haman remained to beg Queen Esther for his life because he realized the king was planning something terrible for him.(C) 8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall,[b] Haman was falling on the couch(D) where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually violate the queen while I am in the house?” As soon as the statement left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.(E)
9 Harbona, one of the king’s eunuchs,(F) said, “There is a gallows seventy-five feet[c] tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai,(G) who gave the report that saved[d] the king.”(H)
The king said, “Hang him on it.”
10 They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.(I) Then the king’s anger subsided.(J)

New American Standard Bible
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. 9 Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who stood before the king, said, “Indeed, behold, (D)the wooden gallows standing at Haman’s house [c]fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai (E)who spoke good in behalf of the king!” And the king said, “Hang him on it.” 10 (F)So they hanged Haman on the wooden gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai, (G)and the king’s anger subsided.
