Esther 7 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

TOOLSEst 7:2And the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to Esther ^H635 on the second ^H8145 day ^H3117 also ^H1571 [fn]as they drank ^H4960 their wine ^H3196 at ^H4960 the ^H4960 feast ^H4960, “What ^H4100 is [fn]your petition ^H7596, Queen ^H4436 Esther ^H635? It shall be given ^H5414 you. And what ^H4100 is [fn]your request ^H1246? Even ^H5704 to half ^H2677 of the kingdom ^H4438 it shall be done ^H6213.”

TOOLSEst 7:3Then Queen ^H4436 Esther ^H635 answered ^H6030 and said ^H559, “If ^H518 I have found ^H4672 favor ^H2580 in your eyes ^H5869, O king ^H4428, and if ^H518 it seems good ^H2895 to the king ^H4428, let my life ^H5315 be given ^H5414 to me as [fn]my petition ^H7596, and my people ^H5971 as [fn]my request ^H1246;

TOOLSEst 7:4for we have been sold ^H4376, I and my people ^H5971, to be destroyed ^H8045, to be killed ^H2026, and to be caused ^H6 to perish ^H6. Now if ^H432 we had only been sold ^H4376 as slaves ^H8198 H5650, men and women ^H8198, I would have remained ^H2790 silent ^H2790, for the [fn]adversity ^H6862 would not be worth ^H7737 the [fn]annoyance ^H5143 to the king ^H4428.”

TOOLSEst 7:5Then King ^H4428 Ahasuerus ^H325 said ^H559—he said ^H559 to Esther ^H635 the Queen ^H4436, “Who ^H4310 is this one, and where ^H335 is this one, who ^H834 fills ^H4390 his heart ^H3820 to do ^H6213 thus ^H3651?”

TOOLSEst 7:6So Esther ^H635 said ^H559, “An adversary ^H6862 and an enemy ^H340 is this ^H2088 evil ^H7451 Haman ^H2001!” Then Haman ^H2001 became terrified ^H1204 before ^H4480 H6440 the king ^H4428 and queen ^H4436.

TOOLSEst 7:7And the king ^H4428 arose ^H6965 in his wrath ^H2534 from [fn]drinking ^H4960 wine ^H3196 and went into the garden ^H1593 of his palace ^H1055; but Haman ^H2001 stayed ^H5975 to seek ^H1245 for his life ^H5315 from Queen ^H4436 Esther ^H635, for he saw ^H7200 that calamity ^H7451 had been determined ^H3615 against ^H413 him by the king ^H4428.

TOOLSEst 7:8Now the king ^H4428 returned ^H7725 from the garden ^H1593 of his palace ^H1055 into the [fn]place ^H1004 where they were drinking ^H4960 wine ^H3196. And Haman ^H2001 was falling ^H5307 on the couch ^H4296 where ^H834 H5921 Esther ^H635 was. So the king ^H4428 said ^H559, “Will he even ^H1571 assault ^H3533 the queen ^H4436 with me in the house ^H1004?” As the word ^H1697 went ^H3318 out ^H3318 of the king’s ^H4428 mouth ^H6310, they covered ^H2645 Haman’s ^H2001 face ^H6440.

TOOLSEst 7:9Then Harbonah ^H2726, one ^H259 of the eunuchs ^H5631 who were before ^H6440 the king ^H4428, said ^H559, “Behold ^H2009 indeed ^H1571, the gallows ^H6086—which ^H834 Haman ^H2001 made ^H6213 for Mordecai ^H4782 who ^H834 spoke ^H1696 good ^H2896 on ^H5921 behalf ^H5921 of ^H5921 the king ^H4428—are standing ^H5975 at Haman’s ^H2001 house ^H1004 fifty ^H2572 cubits ^H520 high ^H1364!” And the king ^H4428 said ^H559, “Hang ^H8518 him on it.”

TOOLSEst 7:10So they hanged ^H8518 Haman ^H2001 on the [fn]gallows ^H6086 which ^H834 he had set ^H3559 up for Mordecai ^H4782, and the king’s ^H4428 wrath ^H2534 subsided ^H7918.
