[1]Now it came to pass on the thirdH7992 dayH3117, that EstherH635 put onH3847[H8799] her royalH4438 apparel, and stoodH5975[H8799] in the innerH6442 courtH2691 of the king'sH4428 houseH1004, over againstH5227 the king'sH4428 houseH1004: and the kingH4428 satH3427[H8802] upon his royalH4438 throneH3678 in the royalH4438 houseH1004, over againstH5227 the gateH6607 of the houseH1004. |

[2]And it was so, when the kingH4428 sawH7200[H8800] EstherH635 the queenH4436 standingH5975[H8802] in the courtH2691, that she obtainedH5375[H8804] favourH2580 in his sightH5869: and the kingH4428 held outH3447[H8686] to EstherH635 the goldenH2091 sceptreH8275 that was in his handH3027. So EstherH635 drew nearH7126[H8799], and touchedH5060[H8799] the topH7218 of the sceptreH8275. |

[3]Then saidH559[H8799] the kingH4428 unto her, What wilt thou, queenH4436 EstherH635? and what is thy requestH1246? it shall be even givenH5414[H8735] thee to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438. |

[4]And EstherH635 answeredH559[H8799], If it seem goodH2895[H8804] unto the kingH4428, let the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935[H8799] this dayH3117 unto the banquetH4960 that I have preparedH6213 for himH8804. |

[5]Then the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799], Cause HamanH2001 to make hasteH4116[H8761], that he may doH6213[H8800] as EstherH635 hath saidH1697. So the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 cameH935[H8799] to the banquetH4960 that EstherH635 had preparedH6213.[H8804] |

[6]And the kingH4428 saidH559[H8799] unto EstherH635 at the banquetH4960 of wineH3196, What is thy petitionH7596? and it shall be grantedH5414[H8735] thee: and what is thy requestH1246? even to the halfH2677 of the kingdomH4438 it shall be performedH6213.[H8735] |

[7]Then answeredH6030[H8799] EstherH635, and saidH559[H8799], My petitionH7596 and my request isH1246; |
[No book] |
[8]If I have foundH4672[H8804] favourH2580 in the sightH5869 of the kingH4428, and if it pleaseH2895[H8804] the kingH4428 to grantH5414[H8800] my petitionH7596, and to performH6213[H8800] my requestH1246, let the kingH4428 and HamanH2001 comeH935[H8799] to the banquetH4960 that I shall prepareH6213[H8799] for them, and I will doH6213[H8799] to morrowH4279 as the kingH4428 hath saidH1697. |

[9]Then wentH3318 HamanH2001 forthH3318[H8799] that dayH3117 joyfulH8056 and with a gladH2896 heartH3820: but when HamanH2001 sawH7200[H8800] MordecaiH4782 in the king'sH4428 gateH8179, that he stood not upH6965[H8804], nor movedH2111[H8804] for him, heH2001 was fullH4390[H8735] of indignationH2534 against MordecaiH4782. |
[No book] |
[10]Nevertheless HamanH2001 refrainedH662[H8691] himself: and when he cameH935[H8799] homeH1004, he sentH7971[H8799] and calledH935[H8686] for his friendsH157[H8802], and ZereshH2238 his wifeH802. |
[No book] |
[11]And HamanH2001 toldH5608[H8762] them of the gloryH3519 of his richesH6239, and the multitudeH7230 of his childrenH1121, and all the things wherein the kingH4428 had promotedH1431[H8765] him, and how he had advancedH5375[H8765] him above the princesH8269 and servantsH5650 of the kingH4428. |

[12]HamanH2001 saidH559[H8799] moreover, Yea, EstherH635 the queenH4436 did let no man come inH935[H8689] with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960 that she had preparedH6213[H8804] but myself; and to morrowH4279 am I invitedH7121[H8803] unto her also with the kingH4428. |
[No book] |
[13]Yet all this availethH7737[H8802] me nothing, so long asH6256 I seeH7200[H8802] MordecaiH4782 the JewH3064 sittingH3427[H8802] at the king'sH4428 gateH8179. |
[No book] |
[14]Then saidH559[H8799] ZereshH2238 his wifeH802 and all his friendsH157[H8802] unto him, Let a gallowsH6086 be madeH6213[H8799] of fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 highH1364, and to morrowH1242 speakH559[H8798] thou unto the kingH4428 that MordecaiH4782 may be hangedH8518[H8799] thereon: then goH935[H8798] thou in merrilyH8056 with the kingH4428 unto the banquetH4960. And the thingH1697 pleasedH3190[H8799][H6440] HamanH2001; and he causedH6213 the gallowsH6086 to be madeH6213.[H8799] |
