Chapter 5
Now
it
came
to
passe
on
the
third
day,
that
Esther
put
on
her
royall
apparell,
and
stood
in
the
inner
court
of
the
kings
house,
ouer
against
the
kings
house:
and
the
King
sate
vpon
his
royall
throne
in
the
royall
house,
ouer
against
the
gate
of
the
house.
2
And
it
was
so,
when
the
king
saw
Esther
the
Queene
standing
in
the
court,
that
shee
obtained
fauour
in
his
sight:
and
the
king
helde
out
to
Esther
the
golden
scepter
that
was
in
his
hand:
So
Esther
drew
neere,
and
touched
the
top
of
the
scepter.
3
Then
sayd
the
King
vnto
her,
What
wilt
thou,
Queene
Esther?
and
what
is
thy
request?
it
shall
bee
euen
giuen
thee
to
the
halfe
of
the
kingdome.
4
And
Esther
answered,
If
it
seeme
good
vnto
the
King,
let
the
King
and
Haman
come
this
day
vnto
the
banquet
that
I
haue
prepared
for
him.
5
Then
the
King
sayd,
Cause
Haman
to
make
haste,
that
he
may
doe
as
Esther
hath
said:
So
the
king
and
Haman
came
to
the
banquet
that
Esther
had
prepared.
6
And
the
king
said
vnto
Esther
at
the
banquet
of
wine,
What
is
thy
petition,
and
it
shall
be
granted
thee?
and
what
is
thy
request?
euen
to
the
halfe
of
the
kingdome
it
shall
be
performed.
7
Then
answered
Esther,
and
said,
My
petition,
and
my
request
is,
8
If
I
haue
found
fauour
in
the
sight
of
the
king,
and
if
it
please
the
king
to
grant
my
petition,
and
to
performe
my
request,
let
the
king,
and
Haman,
come
to
the
banquet
that
I
shall
prepare
for
them,
and
I
wil
do
to
morow,
as
the
king
hath
said.
9
Then
went
Haman
foorth
that
day,
ioyfull,
and
with
a
glad
heart:
but
when
Haman
saw
Mordecai
in
the
kings
gate,
that
hee
stood
not
vp,
nor
mooued
for
him,
hee
was
full
of
indignation
against
Mordecai.
10
Neuerthelesse
Haman
refrained
himselfe,
and
when
he
came
home,
hee
sent
and
called
for
his
friends,
and
Zeresh
his
wife.
11
And
Haman
told
them
of
the
glory
of
his
riches,
and
the
multitude
of
his
children,
and
all
the
things
wherein
the
king
had
promoted
him,
and
how
he
had
aduanced
him
aboue
the
Princes,
and
seruants
of
the
king.
12
Haman
said
moreouer,
Yea
Esther
the
Queene
did
let
no
man
come
in
with
the
king
vnto
the
banquet
that
she
had
prepared,
but
my
selfe;
and
to
morrow
am
I
inuited
vnto
her
also
with
the
king.
13
Yet
all
this
auaileth
me
nothing,
so
long
as
I
see
Mordecai
the
Iew
sitting
at
the
kings
gate.
14
Then
saide
Zeresh
his
wife,
and
all
his
friends
vnto
him,
Let
a
gallous
be
made
of
fifty
cubits
hie,
and
to
morrow
speake
thou
vnto
the
king,
that
Mordecai
may
be
hanged
thereon:
then
goe
thou
in
merily
with
the
king
vnto
the
banquet.
And
the
thing
pleased
Haman,
and
hee
caused
the
gallous
to
be
made.
