Esther 7:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the house of wine drinking, Haman was falling on the couch(A) where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually violate the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the statement left the king’s mouth, Haman’s face was covered.(B)
9 Harbona, one of the royal eunuchs,(C) said: “There is a gallows 75 feet[a] tall at Haman’s house that he made for Mordecai,(D) who gave the report that saved[b] the king.”(E)
The king commanded, “Hang him on it.”
10 They hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.(F) Then the king’s anger subsided.(G)

8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch(A) where Esther was reclining.(B)
The king exclaimed, “Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?”(C)
As soon as the word left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.(D) 9 Then Harbona,(E) one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, “A pole reaching to a height of fifty cubits[a](F) stands by Haman’s house. He had it set up for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king.”
The king said, “Impale him on it!”(G) 10 So they impaled(H) Haman(I) on the pole(J) he had set up for Mordecai.(K) Then the king’s fury subsided.(L)
