Esther 7

7So the king and Haman went in to feast with Queen Esther.H4428H2001H935H8354H635H44362On the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king again said to Esther, "What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to the half of my kingdom, it shall be fulfilled."H4428H559H635H8145H3117H4960H3196H7596H4436H635H5414H1246H6213H2677H44383Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have won your favor, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me—that is my petition—and the lives of my people—that is my request.H635H4436H6030H559H4672H2580H5869H4428H2895H4428H5315H5414H7596H5971H12464For 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 held my peace; but no enemy can compensate for this damage to the king."H4376H5971H8045H2026H6H432H4376H5650H8198H2790H6862H7737H4428H51435Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who has presumed to do this?"H4428H325H559H559H635H4436H4390H3820H62136Esther said, "A foe and enemy, this wicked Haman!" Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.H635H559H376H6862H341H7451H2001H2001H1204H6440H4428H44367The king rose from the feast in wrath and went into the palace garden, but Haman stayed to beg his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that the king had determined to destroy him.H4428H6965H4960H3196H2534H1055H1594H2001H5975H1245H5315H635H4436H7200H7451H3615H44288When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had thrown himself on the couch where Esther was reclining; and the king said, "Will he even assault the queen in my presence, in my own house?" As the words left the mouth of the king, they covered Haman's face.H4428H7725H1055H1594H1004H4960H3196H2001H5307H4296H635H559H4428H3533H4436H1004H1697H3318H4428H6310H2645H2001H64409Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs in attendance on the king, said, "Look, the very gallows that Haman has prepared for Mordecai, whose word saved the king, stands at Haman's house, fifty cubits high." And the king said, "Hang him on that."H2726H259H5631H559H6440H4428H6086H2572H520H1364H2001H6213H4782H1696H2896H4428H5975H1004H2001H4428H559H851810So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the anger of the king abated.H8518H2001H6086H3559H4782H4428H2534H7918

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
