3 Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor with you, Your Majesty, and if the king is pleased, 7:3 Est 2:17; 5:8 spare my life; this is my request. And spare my people; this is my desire. 7:3 Est 4:12–144 For my people and I have been sold 7:4 Est 3:9,13; 4:7 to destruction, death, and annihilation. 7:4 Est 3:13; 8:11; 9:5–10 If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, 7:4 Dt 28:48,68 I would have kept silent. Indeed, the trouble wouldn’t be worth burdening the king."
9 Harbona, one of the king’s eunuchs, 7:9 Est 1:12 said, "There is a gallows seventy-five feet 7:9 Lit 50 cubits tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai, 7:9 Est 5:14 who gave the report that saved 7:9 Lit who spoke good for the king." 7:9 Est 2:21–23; 6:1–2
The king said, "Hang him on it."
10 They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. 7:10 Est 5:14; Ps 7:16; 94:23; Pr 11:5,6; Dn 6:24 Then the king’s anger subsided. 7:10 Est 1:12; 2:1
