And they entered, the king and Haman, to drink together with the queen.
And said the king to Esther on the second day at the banquet, What is it queen Esther? And what is your request? And what is your petition? And it will be yours unto half of my kingdom!
And answering she said, If I found favor before the king, let him give my life to my request, and my people to my petition.
We were sold for both I and my people into destruction, and ravaging, and slavery; we, and both our children for manservants and maidservants, and I neglected to speak; for worthy the slanderer of the courtyard of the king.
And said the king, Who is this who dared to do this thing?
And Esther said, A man, an enemy, Haman, this wicked man. And Haman was disturbed before the king and the queen.
And the king rose up from the party to go into the garden. And Haman appealed to the queen, for he saw himself in evils being.
And returned the king from out of the garden; and Haman had fallen upon the bed petitioning the queen. And said the king, So as even with my wife you use force in my house. And Haman, hearing, was overawed in front of him.
And said And Harbonah one of the eunuchs to the king, Behold, even a tree Haman prepared for Mordecai, the one speaking for the king, and it was set straight up in the places of Haman — cubits fifty. And said the king, Let him be crucified upon it!
And Haman was hung upon the tree which he prepared for Mordecai. And then the king slackened from the rage.
