He sent for his friends and his wife Zeresh. 11 Haman recounted to them the splendor of his wealth, the number of his sons, and all the ways the king had honored him and how he had elevated him above the officials and servants of the king. 12 And Haman said, "What’s more, Queen Esther invited no one but me to accompany the king to the banquet she prepared. And I am invited again to dine with her and the king tomorrow." 13 But all this gives me no satisfaction as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate. 14 His wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, "Have a gallows constructed, seventy-five feet high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet and enjoy yourself." This suggestion pleased Haman, and he had the gallows built.
