But if we had been sold as slaves, I would have remained silent, although the enemy could not compensate for the king's loss. 5 Then King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, Who is he, and where is he, that dares presume in his heart to do so? 6 And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen. 7 And the king, arising from the wine banquet in his wrath, went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to plead for his life to Queen Esther; for he saw that evil was determined against him by the king. 8 Then the king returned from the palace garden to the place of the wine banquet; and Haman had fallen on the couch where Esther was.
