Esther 7:9 in Context — Esther 7

7 Levantóse luego el rey del banquete del vino en su furor, [y se fué] al huerto del palacio: y quedóse Amán para procurar de la reina Esther por su vida; porque vió que estaba resuelto para él el mal de parte del rey.

8 Volvió después el rey del huerto del palacio al aposento del banquete del vino, y Amán había caído sobre el lecho en que estaba Esther. Entonces dijo el rey: ¿También para forzar la reina, [estando] conmigo en casa? Como esta palabra salió de la boca del rey, el rostro de Amán fué cubierto.

9 Y dijo Harbona, uno de los eunucos de delante del rey: He aquí también la horca de cincuenta codos de altura que hizo Amán para Mardochêo, el cual había hablado bien por el rey, está en casa de Amán. Entonces el rey dijo: Colgadlo en ella.

10 Así colgaron á Amán en la horca que él había hecho aparejar para Mardochêo; y apaciguóse la ira del rey.
