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)

7 Angered(A) by this, the king arose from where they were drinking wine and went to the palace garden.(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 house of wine drinking, 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 palace?” As soon as the statement left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.(E)

9 Harbona, one of the royal eunuchs,(F) said: “There is a gallows 75 feet[a] tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai,(G) who gave the report that saved[b] the king.”(H)

The king commanded, “Hang him on it.”

10 They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.(I) Then the king’s anger subsided.(J)
