1So, on day three, Esther gets all decked out in her royal fit and stands in the king's inner court, while the king's chilling on his throne, no cap.

2When the king peeped Esther, he was like, "She’s got that vibe," and he reached out the golden scepter. Esther rolled up and touched it, periodt.

3The king was like, “What’s good, queen Esther? What do you want? I got you, even half the kingdom if that’s what you’re after.”

4Esther replied, “If it’s cool with the king, let him and Haman hit up the banquet I set up for them.”

5The king said, “Tell Haman to hurry, so he can do what Esther said.” So they both pulled up to the banquet Esther planned.

6At the wine banquet, the king asked Esther, “What’s your petition? I got you, even half the kingdom if that’s what you want.”

7Esther was like, “My petition and request is this;”

8“If I’ve got the king’s favor and he’s down to grant my request, let him and Haman come to the banquet I’m throwing tomorrow, and I’ll do what the king said.”

9Haman left that day feeling all happy and vibing, but when he saw Mordecai not standing up for him at the king’s gate, he was mad sus.

10But Haman kept it chill, and when he got home, he hit up his friends and his wife Zeresh.

11Haman flexed about his riches, his kids, all the ways the king boosted him, and how he was above all the princes and servants.

12Haman added, “For real, only I got invited to the banquet with the king that Esther set up; tomorrow, I’m invited again.”

13But none of that mattered to me as long as I saw Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate, fr.

14Then Zeresh and his friends said, “Build a gallows fifty cubits high, and tomorrow, tell the king to hang Mordecai on it. Then you can vibe with the king at the banquet.” Haman was all about it and got the gallows made.

1Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, over against the king’s house: and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the gate of the house.

2And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

3Then said the king unto her, What wilt thou, queen Esther? and what is thy request? it shall be even given thee to the half of the kingdom.

4And Esther answered, If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.

5Then the king said, Cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

6And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? even to the half of the kingdom it shall be performed.

7Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is;

8If I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to morrow as the king hath said.

9Then went Haman forth that day joyful and with a glad heart: but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king’s gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, he was full of indignation against Mordecai.

10Nevertheless Haman refrained himself: and when he came home, he sent and called for his friends, and Zeresh his wife.

11And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all the things wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

12Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to morrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

13Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.

14Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
