Esther 7

1 Esther intertaining the king and Haman, maketh suit for her owne life, and her people's. 5 She accuseth Haman. 7 The king in his anger understanding of the gallows, which Haman had made for Mordecai, causeth him to be hanged thereon.

 7:1 ¶ So the king 4428 and Haman 2001 came 935 z8799 to banquet 8354 z8800 with x5973 Esther 635 the queen. 4436

 7:2 And the king 4428 said 559 z8799 again x1571 unto Esther 635 on the second 8145 day 3117 at the banquet 4960 of wine, 3196 What x4100 [is] thy petition, 7596 queen 4436 Esther? 635 and it shall be granted 5414 z8735 thee: and what x4100 [is] thy request? 1246 and it shall be performed, 6213 z8735 [even] to x5704 the half 2677 of the kingdom. 4438

 7:3 Then Esther 635 the queen 4436 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799 If x518 I have found 4672 z8804 favour 2580 in thy sight, 5869 O king, 4428 and if x518 it please 2895 z8804 x5921 the king, 4428 let my life 5315 be given 5414 z8735 me at my petition, 7596 and my people 5971 at my request: 1246

 7:4 For x3588 we are sold, 4376 z8738 I x589 and my people, 5971 to be destroyed, 8045 z8687 to be slain, 2026 z8800 and to perish. 6 z8763 But if 432 we had been sold 4376 z8738 for bondmen 5650 and bondwomen, 8198 I had held my tongue, 2790 z8689 although x3588 the enemy 6862 could not x369 countervail 7737 z8802 the king's 4428 damage. 5143

 7:5 ¶ Then the king 4428 Ahasuerus 325 answered 559 z8799 and said 559 z8799 unto Esther 635 the queen, 4436 Who x4310 is he, x1931 x2088 and where x335 is he, x2088 x1931 that x834 durst presume 4390 z8804 in his heart 3820 to do 6213 z8800 so? x3651

 7:6 And Esther 635 said, 559 z8799 The adversary 376 6862 and enemy 341 z8802 [is] this x2088 wicked 7451 Haman. 2001 Then Haman 2001 was afraid 1204 z8738 before 6440 x4480 the king 4428 and the queen. 4436

 7:7 ¶ And the king 4428 arising 6965 z8804 from the banquet 4960 x4480 of wine 3196 in his wrath 2534 [went] into x413 the palace 1055 garden: 1594 and Haman 2001 stood up 5975 z8804 to make request 1245 z8763 for x5921 his life 5315 to Esther 635 x4480 the queen; 4436 for x3588 he saw 7200 z8804 that x3588 there was evil 7451 determined 3615 z8804 against x413 him by x4480 x854 the king. 4428

 7:8 Then the king 4428 returned 7725 z8804 out of the palace y1055 garden 1594 x4480 x1055 into x413 the place 1004 of the banquet 4960 of wine; 3196 and Haman 2001 was fallen 5307 z8802 upon x5921 the bed 4296 whereon x834 x5921 Esther 635 [was]. Then said 559 z8799 the king, 4428 Will he force 3533 z8800 x853 the queen 4436 also x1571 before x5973 me in the house? 1004 As the word 1697 went out 3318 z8804 of the king's y4428 mouth, 6310 x4480 x4428 they covered 2645 z8804 Haman's 2001 face. 6440

 7:9 And Harbonah, 2726 one 259 of x4480 the chamberlains, 5631 said 559 z8799 before 6440 the king, 4428 Behold x2009 also, x1571 the gallows 6086 fifty 2572 cubits 520 high, 1364 which x834 Haman 2001 had made 6213 z8804 for Mordecai, 4782 who x834 had spoken 1696 z8765 good 2896 for x5921 the king, 4428 standeth 5975 z8802 in the house 1004 of Haman. 2001 Then the king 4428 said, 559 z8799 Hang 8518 z8798 him thereon. x5921

 7:10 So they hanged 8518 z8799 x853 Haman 2001 on x5921 the gallows 6086 that x834 he had prepared 3559 z8689 for Mordecai. 4782 Then was the king's 4428 wrath 2534 pacified. 7918 z8804
