Esther's Plea

1

Now the kingh4428 and Hamanh2001b cameh935 to drinkh8354 wine with Estherh635 the queenh4436.

2

And the kingh4428 saidh559 to Estherh635 on the secondh8145 dayh3117 alsoh1571  1as they drankh4960 their wineh3196 at the banqueth4960, " aWhath4100 is your petitionh7596, Queenh4436 Estherh635? It shall be grantedh5414 you. And whath4100 is your requesth1246?  bEvenh5704 to halfh2677 of the kingdomh4438 it shall be doneh6213a."

3

Then Queenh4436 Estherh635 repliedh6030a, " aIfh518 I have foundh4672 favorh2580 in your sighth5869, O kingh4428, and ifh518 it pleasesh2895 the kingh4428, let my lifeh5315 be givenh5414 me as my petitionh7596, and my peopleh5971a as my requesth1246;

4

for  awe have been soldh4376, I and my peopleh5971a, to be destroyedh8045,  bto be killedh2026 and to be annihilatedh6. Now ifh432 we had only been soldh4376 as slavesh8198h5650, men and womenh8198, I would have remainedh2790b silenth2790b, for the  1troubleh6862b would not be commensurateh7737a with the  2annoyanceh5143 to the kingh4428."

5

Then Kingh4428 Ahasuerush325  1askedh559 Queenh4436 Estherh635, "Whoh4310 is he, and whereh335 is he,  2whoh834 would presumeh4390h3820 to doh6213a thush3651?"

6

Estherh635 saidh559, " aA foeh6862c and an enemyh340 is thish2088 wickedh7451a Hamanh2001b!" Then Hamanh2001b became terrifiedh1204 beforeh4480h6440 the kingh4428 and queenh4436.

Haman Is Hanged

7

The kingh4428 aroseh6965  ain his angerh2534 from  1drinkingh4960 wineh3196 and went into  bthe palaceh1055 gardenh1593; but Hamanh2001b stayedh5975 to begh1245 for his lifeh5315 from Queenh4436 Estherh635, for he sawh7200 that harmh7463a had been determinedh3615 againsth413 him by the kingh4428.

8

Now when the kingh4428 returnedh7725 from the palaceh1055 gardenh1593 into the  1placeh1004 whereh4960 they were drinkingh4960 wineh3196, Hamanh2001b was fallingh5307 on  athe couchh4296 whereh834h5921 Estherh635 was. Then the kingh4428 saidh559, "Will he evenh1571 assaulth3533 the queenh4436 with me in the househ1004?" As the wordh1697 wenth3318 out of the king'sh4428 mouthh6310, they coveredh2645 Haman'sh2001b faceh6440.

9

Then Harbonahh2726, oneh259 of the eunuchsh5631 who were beforeh6440 the kingh4428 saidh559, "Beholdh2009 indeedh1571,  athe gallowsh6086 standingh5975 at Haman'sh2001b househ1004 fiftyh2572 cubitsh520 highh1364, whichh834 Hamanh2001b madeh6213a for Mordecaih4782  bwhoh834 spokeh1696 goodh2896a on behalfh5921 of the kingh4428!" And the kingh4428 saidh559, "Hangh8518 him on it."

10

 aSo they hangedh8518 Hamanh2001b on the  1gallowsh6086 whichh834 he had preparedh3559 for Mordecaih4782,  band the king'sh4428 angerh2534 subsidedh7918.
