Esther 7:8-10
Contemporary English Version
8 Just as the king came back into the room, Haman got down on his knees beside Esther, who was lying on the couch. The king shouted, “Now you're even trying to rape my queen here in my own palace!”
As soon as the king said this, his servants covered Haman's head. 9 Then Harbona, one of the king's personal servants, said, “Your Majesty, Haman built a gallows 22 meters high beside his house, so he could hang Mordecai on it. And Mordecai is the very one who spoke up and saved your life.”
“Hang Haman from his own gallows!” the king commanded. 10 At once, Haman was hanged on the gallows he had built to hang Mordecai, and the king calmed down.

8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch(A) where Esther was reclining.(B)
The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”(C)
As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.(D) 9 Then Harbona,(E) one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits[a](F) stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”
The king said, “Impale him on it!”(G) 10 So they impaled(H) Haman(I) on the pole(J) he had set up for Mordecai.(K) Then the king’s fury subsided.(L)
