5 And King Ahasuerus spoke and he said to Esther the queen, “Who is he, this one? And where is this one—he who has filled his heart to do thus?” 6 And Esther said, “A man, an adversary, and enemy is this, the evil Haman.” And Haman was terrified from before the faces of the king and the queen. 7 And the king arose in his anger from the feast of the wine to the garden of the palace, and Haman stood to beg for his soul from Esther the queen, for he saw that the evil was determined against him from the king. 8 And the king returned from the garden of the palace to the house of the feast of the wine, and Haman was falling upon the couch that Esther was on. And the king said, “Is it also to subdue the queen with me in the house?” The word went forth from the mouth of the king, and they covered the face of Haman. 9 And Harbonah, one from the eunuchs, said before the face of the king, “Also behold, the tree that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good over the king, is standing at the house of Haman, fifty cubits high.” And the king said, “Hang him on it.” 10 And they hanged Haman on the tree that he had prepared for Mordecai, and the rage of the king subsided.
