Now it came to pass on the third [7992] day, [3117] that Esther [0635] put on [3847] [her] royal [4438] [apparel], and stood [5975] in the inner [6442] court [2691] of the king's [4428] house, [1004] over against [5227] the king's [4428] house: [1004] and the king [4428] sat [3427] upon his royal [4438] throne [3678] in the royal [4438] house, [1004] over against [5227] the gate [6607] of the house. [1004]
2
And it was so, when the king [4428] saw [7200] Esther [0635] the queen [4436] standing [5975] in the court, [2691] [that] she obtained [5375] favour [2580] in his sight: [5869] and the king [4428] held out [3447] to Esther [0635] the golden [2091] sceptre [8275] that [was] in his hand. [3027] So Esther [0635] drew near, [7126] and touched [5060] the top [7218] of the sceptre. [8275]
3
Then said [0559] the king [4428] unto her, What wilt thou, queen [4436] Esther? [0635] and what [is] thy request? [1246] it shall be even given [5414] thee to the half [2677] of the kingdom. [4438]
4
And Esther [0635] answered, [0559] If [it seem] good [2895] unto the king, [4428] let the king [4428] and Haman [2001] come [0935] this day [3117] unto the banquet [4960] that I have prepared [6213] for him.
5
Then the king [4428] said, [0559] Cause Haman [2001] to make haste, [4116] that he may do [6213] as Esther [0635] hath said. [1697] So the king [4428] and Haman [2001] came [0935] to the banquet [4960] that Esther [0635] had prepared. [6213]
6
And the king [4428] said [0559] unto Esther [0635] at the banquet [4960] of wine, [3196] What [is] thy petition? [7596] and it shall be granted [5414] thee: and what [is] thy request? [1246] even to the half [2677] of the kingdom [4438] it shall be performed. [6213]
7
Then answered [6030] Esther, [0635] and said, [0559] My petition [7596] and my request [1246] [is];
8
If I have found [4672] favour [2580] in the sight [5869] of the king, [4428] and if it please [2895] the king [4428] to grant [5414] my petition, [7596] and to perform [6213] my request, [1246] let the king [4428] and Haman [2001] come [0935] to the banquet [4960] that I shall prepare [6213] for them, and I will do [6213] to morrow [4279] as the king [4428] hath said. [1697]
9
Then went Haman [2001] forth [3318] that day [3117] joyful [8056] and with a glad [2896] heart: [3820] but when Haman [2001] saw [7200] Mordecai [4782] in the king's [4428] gate, [8179] that he stood not up, [6965] nor moved [2111] for him, he [2001] was full [4390] of indignation [2534] against Mordecai. [4782]
10
Nevertheless Haman [2001] refrained [0662] himself: and when he came [0935] home, [1004] he sent [7971] and called [0935] for his friends, [0157] and Zeresh [2238] his wife. [0802]
11
And Haman [2001] told [5608] them of the glory [3519] of his riches, [6239] and the multitude [7230] of his children, [1121] and all [the things] wherein the king [4428] had promoted [1431] him, and how he had advanced [5375] him above the princes [8269] and servants [5650] of the king. [4428]
12
Haman [2001] said [0559] moreover, Yea, Esther [0635] the queen [4436] did let no man come in [0935] with the king [4428] unto the banquet [4960] that she had prepared [6213] but myself; and to morrow [4279] am I invited [7121] unto her also with the king. [4428]
13
Yet all this availeth [7737] me nothing, so long as [6256] I see [7200] Mordecai [4782] the Jew [3064] sitting [3427] at the king's [4428] gate. [8179]
14
Then said [0559] Zeresh [2238] his wife [0802] and all his friends [0157] unto him, Let a gallows [6086] be made [6213] of fifty [2572] cubits [0520] high, [1364] and to morrow [1242] speak [0559] thou unto the king [4428] that Mordecai [4782] may be hanged [8518] thereon: then go thou in [0935] merrily [8056] with the king [4428] unto the banquet. [4960] And the thing [1697] pleased [3190] [6440] Haman; [2001] and he caused the gallows [6086] to be made. [6213]
