e loves, and esteems worthy of honor."
And when they had gone round the city, Mordecai went in to the king; but
Haman went home, out of shame, and informed his wife and friends of what
had happened, and this with tears; who said, that he would never be able
to be revenged of Mordecai, for that God was with him.

11. Now while these men were thus talking one to another, Esther's
eunuchs hastened Haman away to come to supper; but one of the eunuchs,
named Sabuchadas, saw the gallows that was fixed in Haman's house, and
inquired of one of his servants for what purpose they had prepared it.
So he knew that it was for the queen's uncle, because Haman was about to
petition the king that he might be punished; but at present he held his
peace. Now when the king, with Haman, were at the banquet, he desired
the queen to tell him what gifts she desired to obtain, and assured her

supplication to her, the king came in, and being still more provoked
at what he saw, "O thou wretch," said he, "thou vilest of mankind, dost
thou aim to force in wife?" And when Haman was astonished at this,
and not able to speak one word more, Sabuchadas the eunuch came in and
accused Haman, and said, He found a gallows at his house, prepared for
Mordecai; for that the servant told him so much upon his inquiry, when
he was sent to him to call him to supper. He said further, that the
gallows was fifty cubits high: which, when the king heard, he determined
that Haman should be punished after no other
