7 So the king and Haman went to the second banquet that Queen Esther had arranged for them. 2 At that second banquet, while they were drinking wine, the king asked Esther again, “Now please tell me what you really want, Queen Esther. Tell me, and I will do it for you. I will give you anything you ask for, no matter how great it is.” 3 Then Queen Esther replied, “If you are pleased with me, O king, I hope you will be willing to do what I ask. Please allow me to live, and please save my people. That is what I am asking for. 4 I am appealing to you because someone has turned my people and me over to our enemies, and they are going to destroy us completely. If someone had sold the men and even the women to be slaves, I would not have said anything about that to you, because that would not have been important enough to bother you, the king, with that.”
5 Then King Ahasuerus responded to Queen Esther, “Who has done this? Where is the man who has dared to do such a thing?” 6 Esther responded, “The man who is our bitter enemy is this evil man Haman!” This made Haman terrified to be in the presence of the king and the queen. 7 The king became so angry that he got up and left the banquet of wine. He went outside into the palace garden to decide what to do. But Haman stayed inside to beg Queen Esther to save his life because he recognized that the king wanted to execute him. 8 As he was pleading for his life, Haman knelt down very close to Esther as she was reclining on a banqueting couch. When the king returned from the palace garden to the room where they had been drinking wine, he saw this. The king exclaimed, “He is even trying to rape the queen in my presence and in my own house!” As soon as the king said this, some of his servants covered Haman’s face as a sign that he would be executed.
9 Then Harbona, who was one of the guardians who served the king personally, said, “O king! Haman has also set up a pole twenty-five meters high at his house because he wants to hang Mordecai on it. But Mordecai saved your life.” The king said, “Hang Haman on it!” 10 So they hung Haman on the pole that he had set up for Mordecai. Then the king stopped being so angry.
