Esther 5:12-14

CLV(i) 12 Haman added:Indeed, queen Esther let no one save me come with the king to the banquet that she gave; and also tomorrow I am invited to her with the king. 13 But all of this, it is no compensation for me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting in the king's gateway. 14 So his wife Zeresh with all his male friends advised him:Let them build a lofty gallows of fifty cubits, and in the morning ask the king that they should hang Mordecai on it. Then set out with the king to the banquet rejoicing. The plan seemed good before Haman, and he had the gallows built.
