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.
