Context Esthers Plea1Now the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen. 2And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine at the banquet, What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done. 3Then Queen Esther replied, If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request; 4for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated.

As the word went out of the kings mouth, they covered Hamans face. 9Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Hamans house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!
