Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Maka sembah Kharbona, seorang sida-sida di hadapan baginda: Bahwasanya tiang kayu perbuatan Haman akan Mordekhai, yang sudah mengatakan selamat duli tuanku, ia itu terdiri dekat dengan rumah Haman, tingginya lima puluh hasta. Maka titah baginda: Gantungkanlah dia pada kayu itu.

Contextual Overview

7 And the king arose from the bancket and from the wine in his displeasure, and went into the palace garden: And Haman stoode vp, and besought queene Esther for his lyfe: for he saw that there was a mischiefe prepared for him of the king alreadie. 8 And when the king came againe out of the palace garde into the place where they dranke wine: Haman had layde him vpon the bed that Esther sate vpon. Then saide the king: wil he force the queene also before me in the house? As soone as that worde went out of the kinges mouth, they couered Hamans face. 9 And Harbona one of the chamberlaynes that stoode before the king, said: Beholde, there standeth yet a galous in Hamans house, fiftie cubites hye, which he had made for Mardocheus, that spake good for the king. Then the king saide, Hang him thereon. 10 So they hanged Haman on the galous that he had made for Mardocheus: Then was the kinges wrath pacified.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king,.... One of the seven chamberlains, see Esther 1:10, his name, with Josephus y, is Sabouchadas.

Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman. This man, perhaps, had seen it there, when he went with others to fetch Haman to the banquet, Esther 6:14. The sin of Haman is aggravated by preparing a gallows for a man before he was accused to the king, or condemned, or had a grant for his execution, and for a man that had well deserved of the king for discovering a conspiracy against him, and whom now the king had delighted to honour:

then the king said, hang him thereon; immediately, being ready prepared, the king's word was enough, being a sovereign and tyrannical prince.

y Antiqu. l. 11. c. 6. sect. 11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Esther 7:9. Behold also, the gallows — As if he had said, Besides all he has determined to do to the Jews, he has erected a very high gallows, on which he had determined, this very day, to hang Mordecai, who has saved the king's life.

Hang him thereon. — Let him be instantly impaled on the same post. "Harm watch, harm catch," says the proverb. Perillus was the first person burnt alive in the brazen bull which he had made for the punishment of others; hence the poet said: -

____ Nec lex est justior ulla,

Quam necis artifices arte perire sua.


"Nor can there be a juster law than that the artificers of death should perish by their own invention."
