Haman at Esther's Banquet
While they were still talking, the eunuchs arrived and hurriedly brought Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. So the king and Haman went in to drink with the queen. And the second day, as they were drinking wine, the king said, ôWhat is it, Queen Esther? What is your petition and what is your request? It shall be granted to you, even to half of my kingdom.ö She answered and said, ôIf I have found favor with the king, let my life be granted me at my petition, and my people at my request. For we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, plundered, and made slaves-we and our children-male and female slaves. This has come to my knowledge. Our antagonist brings shame on the king's court.ö Then the king said, ôWho is the person that would dare to do this thing?ö Esther said, ôOur enemy is this evil man Haman!ö At this, Haman was terrified in the presence of the king and queen.
