3 Then Queen Esther answered, ch. 5:8"If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request. 4 ch. 3:9;4:7For we have been sold, I and my people, ch. 3:13;8:11to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king."
9 Then ch. 1:10Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, "Moreover, See ch. 5:14the gallows7:9 Or wooden beam; also verse 10 (see note on 2:23) that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, [ch. 2:22]whose word saved the king, is standing at Haman’s house, fifty cubits7:9 A cubit was about 18 inches or 45 centimeters high." And the king said, "Hang him on that." 10 [Ps. 7:16;Prov. 11:5,6;Dan. 6:24] So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. [ch. 2:1]Then the wrath of the king abated.
