Contextual Overview

¹And the king comes in, and Haman, to drink with Esther the queen,²and the king says to Esther also on the second day, during the banquet of wine, "What [is] your petition, Esther, O queen? And it is given to you; and what [is] your request? To the half of the kingdom—and it is done." ³And Esther the queen answers and says, "If I have found grace in your eyes, O king, and if to the king [it be] good, let my life be given to me at my petition, and my people at my request; ⁴for we have been sold, I and my people, to cut off, to slay, and to destroy; and if for menservants and for maidservants we had been sold I had kept silent—but the adversity is not equal to the loss of the king." ⁵And King Ahasuerus says, indeed, he says to Esther the queen, "Who [is] he—this one? And where [is] this one whose heart has filled him to do so?" ⁶And Esther says, "The man—adversary and enemy—[is] this wicked Haman"; and Haman has been afraid at the presence of the king and of the queen.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. Or, "to drink with her" e, that is, wine; for in the next verse it is called a banquet of wine; so they did according to the invitation the queen had given them, Esther 5:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VII

The king at the banquet urges Esther to prefer her petition,

with the positive assurance that it shall be granted, 1, 2.

She petitions for her own life, and the life of her people,

who were sold to be destroyed, 3, 4.

The king inquires the author of this project, and Haman is

accused by the queen, 5, 6.

The king is enraged: Haman supplicates for his life; but the

king orders him to be hanged on the gallows he had prepared

for Mordecai, 7-10.
