UEstere 7:7

7 Wesuka ke ukumkani enomsindo esidlweni sewayini, waya emyezweni wendlu. Ke uHaman wema, ebuthandazela ubomi bakhe kuEstere ukumkanikazi; kuba ebebona ukuba ukumkani ugqibe kwelobubi kuye.

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.
