3 Then Queen Esther answered and said, "If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request. 4 For we have been Esth. 3:9, 4:7sold, my people and I, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. Had we been sold as Deut. 28:68male and female slaves, I would have held my tongue, although the enemy could never compensate for the king’s loss."
9 Now Esth. 1:10Harbonah, one of the eunuchs, said to the king, "Look! Esth. 5:14; (Ps. 7:16; Prov. 11:5, 6)The gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke Esth. 6:2good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman."
Then the king said, "Hang him on it!"
10 So (Ps. 7:16; 94:23; Prov. 11:5, 6)they Ps. 37:35, 36; Dan. 6:24hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king’s wrath subsided.
