Dual Panel1Now the king<4428> and Haman<2001> came<935> to drink<8354> wine with Esther<635> the queen<4436>.
2And the king<4428> said<559> to Esther<635> on the second<8145> day<3117> also<1571> as they drank<4960> their wine<3196> at the banquet<4960>, "What<4100> is your petition<7596>, Queen<4436> Esther<635>? It shall be granted<5414> you. And what<4100> is your request<1246>? Even<5704> to half<2677> of the kingdom<4438> it shall be done<6213>."
3Then Queen<4436> Esther<635> replied<6030>, "If<518> I have found<4672> favor<2580> in your sight<5869>, O king<4428>, and if<518> it pleases<2895> the king<4428>, let my life<5315> be given<5414> me as my petition<7596>, and my people<5971> as my request<1246>;
4for we have been sold<4376>, I and my people<5971>, to be destroyed<8045>, to be killed<2026> and to be annihilated<6>. Now if<432> we had only been sold<4376> as slaves<8198><5650>, men and women<8198>, I would have remained<2790> silent<2790>, for the trouble<6862> would not be commensurate<7737> with the annoyance<5143> to the king<4428>."
5Then King<4428> Ahasuerus<325> asked<559> Queen<4436> Esther<635>, "Who<4310> is he, and where<335> is he, who<834> would presume<4390><3820> to do<6213> thus<3651>?"
6Esther<635> said<559>, "A foe<6862> and an enemy<340> is this<2088> wicked<7451> Haman<2001>!" Then Haman<2001> became terrified<1204> before<4480><6440> the king<4428> and queen<4436>.
7The king<4428> arose<6965> in his anger<2534> from drinking<4960> wine<3196> and went into the palace<1055> garden<1593>; but Haman<2001> stayed<5975> to beg<1245> for his life<5315> from Queen<4436> Esther<635>, for he saw<7200> that harm<7463> had been determined<3615> against<413> him by the king<4428>.
8Now when the king<4428> returned<7725> from the palace<1055> garden<1593> into the place<1004> where<4960> they were drinking<4960> wine<3196>, Haman<2001> was falling<5307> on the couch<4296> where<834><5921> Esther<635> was. Then the king<4428> said<559>, "Will he even<1571> assault<3533> the queen<4436> with me in the house<1004>?" As the word<1697> went<3318> out of the king's<4428> mouth<6310>, they covered<2645> Haman's<2001> face<6440>.
9Then Harbonah<2726>, one<259> of the eunuchs<5631> who were before<6440> the king<4428> said<559>, "Behold<2009> indeed<1571>, the gallows<6086> standing<5975> at Haman's<2001> house<1004> fifty<2572> cubits<520> high<1364>, which<834> Haman<2001> made<6213> for Mordecai<4782> who<834> spoke<1696> good<2896> on behalf<5921> of the king<4428>!" And the king<4428> said<559>, "Hang<8518> him on it."
10So they hanged<8518> Haman<2001> on the gallows<6086> which<834> he had prepared<3559> for Mordecai<4782>, and the king's<4428> anger<2534> subsided<7918>.
