The Hanging of Haman

The Hanging of Haman

7In his fury, the king arose from drinking his wine and went to the palace garden, while Haman stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he realized that the king was planning a terrible fate for him.

8Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall Haman was falling on the couch where Esther [was reclining]. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.

9Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said: “There is a gallows fifty cubits high[fn] at Haman’s house. [He] had it built for Mordecai, who gave the report that saved the king “Hang him on it!” declared the king.

10So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.


7:9 50 cubits is approximately 75 feet or 22.9 meters high.
