THE MESSAGE
The king, raging, left his wine and stalked out into the palace garden. Haman stood there pleading with Queen Esther for his life—he could see that the king was finished with him and that he was doomed. As the king came back from the palace garden into the banquet hall, Haman was groveling at the couch on which Esther reclined. The king roared out, "Will he even molest the queen while I'm just around the corner?" When that word left the king's mouth, all the blood drained from Haman's face.

Contextual Overview
7 The king got up from drinking the wine very angry, and went into his garden, but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther. He knew that the king planned to punish him. 8 When the king returned from his garden to the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the bed-like seat where Esther was lying. Then the king said, "Will he even trouble the queen while I am in the house?" As the king spoke the words, they covered Haman's face. 9 Then Harbonah, one of the king's servants helping the king, said, "See, there is a tower made for hanging people at Haman's house, thirteen times taller than a man. Haman had it made for hanging Mordecai who spoke good and helped the king!" And the king said, "Hang Haman on it." 10 So they hanged Haman on the tower that he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's anger became less.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the king, arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath, went into the palace garden,.... Not being able to bear the sight of Haman, who had done such an injury both to himself and to the queen; as also that his wrath might subside, and he become more composed and sedate, and be able coolly to deliberate what was fitting to be done in the present case:
and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; hoping that her tender heart might be wrought upon to show mercy to him, and be prevailed on to entreat the king to spare his life; and this request he made in the most submissive manner:
for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king; he perceived it both by the king's countenance, by the rage he went out in, and by the threatening words which he very probably uttered as he went out.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Esther 7:7. Haman stood up — He rose from the table to make request for his life, as soon as the king had gone out; and then he fell on his knees before the queen, she still sitting upon her couch.
