Esther 5:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷ Esther answered and said, “My petition and my request is this: ⁸ if I have found favor in the king’s eyes and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and my request, then let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet that I will prepare for them—and then I will do as the king requests.”

Gallows for Mordecai

⁹ Haman went out that day happy and in good spirits. However, when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and he did not rise or tremble before him, Haman was filled with rage against Mordecai.
