The Third Image represents the hanging of Haman. The Fourth Image is a retrospective of the key encounters of Mordecai and Esther with Haman. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: Esther 7 concludes the narrative of the fall of Haman. Haman came to Esther's second banquet, mentioned in the previous chapter. After the banquet, king Ahasuerus asked Esther to state her request. She asked the king to deliver her and her people from destruction. The king asked her who would dare to do such a thing. She said, "The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman." This filled Haman with terror (1-6). And the king, filled with wrath, arose from the banquet and went into the palace garden. While the king was in the garden, Haman fell upon Esther's "bed" (the banqueting couch) and begged for his life. Ahasuerus returned, and upon seeing this, he sent Haman to be hanged on his own gallows; and his wrath was pacified (7-10). NOTE: Esther (fl. 483-473 B.C.) was contemporary with the following Biblical persons:; Nehemiah (served 445-425 B.C.); Joel (580-450 B.C. -- if this late date applies, rather than a date in the 9th century B.C.); Haggai (520 B.C.); Zechariah (520-518 B.C.); Ezra (538-456 B.C.).

However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. 9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. 10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
