Esther 7:8-10

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the house of wine drinking, Haman was falling on the couch^(A) where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually violate the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the statement left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.^(B)

⁹ Harbona, one of the royal eunuchs,^(C) said: “There is a gallows 75 feet^[a] tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai,^(D) who gave the report that saved^[b] the king.”^(E)

The king commanded, “Hang him on it.”

¹⁰ They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.^(F) Then the king’s anger subsided.^(G)
