Chapter 5 Now it came to pass on the third
day that Esther put on her royal apparel

00:06.580 --> 00:10.600
and stood in the inner court of the king's
house over against the king's house.

00:11.560 --> 00:15.480
And the king sat upon his royal throne in
the royal house over against the gate of

00:15.480 --> 00:15.840
the house.

00:16.520 --> 00:20.100
And it was so, when the king saw Esther
the queen standing in the court,

00:20.460 --> 00:22.100
that she obtained favor in his sight.

00:22.580 --> 00:26.320
And the king held out to Esther the golden
scepter that was in his hand.

00:26.920 --> 00:29.800
So Esther drew near and touched the top of
the scepter.

00:30.340 --> 00:33.180
Then said the king unto her, What wilt
thou, Queen Esther?

00:33.340 --> 00:34.540
And what is thy request?

00:34.860 --> 00:37.780
It shall be even given thee to the half of
the kingdom.

00:37.980 --> 00:42.660
And Esther answered, If it seem good unto
the king, let the king and Haman come this

00:42.660 --> 00:44.740
day into the banquet that I have prepared
for him.

00:44.900 --> 00:49.620
Then the king said, Cause Haman to make
haste, that he may do as Esther hath said.

00:49.860 --> 00:52.760
So the king and Haman came to the banquet
that Esther had prepared.

00:53.520 --> 00:56.920
And the king said unto Esther at the
banquet of wine, What is thy petition?

00:56.920 --> 00:58.540
And it shall be granted thee.

00:58.660 --> 00:59.880
And what is thy request?

01:00.360 --> 01:03.260
Even to the half of the kingdom it shall
be performed.

01:03.480 --> 01:06.600
Then answered Esther and said,
My petition and my request is,

01:07.600 --> 01:11.760
If I have found favor in the sight of the
king, and if it please the king to grant

01:11.760 --> 01:16.480
my petition, and to perform my request,
let the king and Haman come to the banquet

01:16.480 --> 01:17.880
that I shall prepare for them.

01:18.800 --> 01:20.840
And I will do tomorrow as the king hath
said.

01:21.080 --> 01:24.120
Then went Haman forth that day,
joyful and with a glad heart.

01:24.720 --> 01:29.260
But when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's
gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for

01:29.260 --> 01:32.180
him, he was full of indignation against
Mordecai.

01:32.800 --> 01:34.920
Nevertheless, Haman refrained himself.

01:35.460 --> 01:39.380
And when he came home, he sent and called
for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

01:39.880 --> 01:43.480
And Haman told them of the glory of his
riches, and the multitude of his children,

01:43.840 --> 01:47.640
and all the things wherein the king had
promoted him, and how he had advanced him

01:47.640 --> 01:49.480
above the princes and servants of the
king.

01:50.100 --> 01:55.340
Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen
did let no man come in with the king unto

01:55.340 --> 01:57.560
the banquet that she had prepared,
but myself.

01:58.040 --> 02:01.160
And tomorrow am I invited unto her also
with the king.

02:01.880 --> 02:06.560
Yet all this availeth me nothing,
so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting

02:06.560 --> 02:07.500
at the king's gate.

02:08.020 --> 02:11.860
Then said Zeresh his wife, and all his
friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of

02:11.860 --> 02:17.040
fifty cubits high, and tomorrow speak thou
unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged

02:17.040 --> 02:17.580
thereon.

02:17.580 --> 02:20.840
Then go thou in narrowly with the king
unto the banquet.

02:21.100 --> 02:24.340
And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused
the gallows to be made.
