[6:14] While they were yet talking with him, the king’s eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.
[7:1] So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther.
[7:2] And on the second day, as they were drinking wine after the feast, the king again said to Esther, “What is your wish, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled.”
[7:3] Then Queen Esther answered, “If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be granted me for my wish, and my people for my request.
[7:4] For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated. If we had been sold merely as slaves, men and women, I would have been silent, for our affliction is not to be compared with the loss to the king.”
[7:5] Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he, and where is he, who has dared to do this?”
[7:6] And Esther said, “A foe and enemy! This wicked Haman!” Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.
