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.
