Ester 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 7:10

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for
Mordecai
Not within his house, ( Esther 7:9 ) , but more probably in his courtyard, in the sight of his family and friends; or, it may be, the gallows was taken from thence, and set up without the city, where he was hanged: for so it is said in the additions of the book of Esther,

``For he that was the worker of these things, is hanged at the gates of Susa with all his family: God, who ruleth all things, speedily rendering vengeance to him according to his deserts.'' (Esther 16:18)

that he was hanged without the gates of Shushan; see ( Psalms 7:15 Psalms 7:16 ) ,

then was the king's wrath pacified;
having inflicted punishment on such a wicked counsellor of his, and the contriver of such mischief.

Ester 7:10 In-Context

8 Poi il re ritornò dall’orto del palazzo nella casa del convito del vino. Or Haman s’era gittato in sul letto, sopra il quale era Ester. E il re disse: Sforzerebbe egli pure ancora la regina appresso di me in casa? Come quella parola fu uscita della bocca del re, la faccia di Haman fu coperta.

9 Ed Harbona, uno degli eunuchi, ministri ordinari del re, disse: Ecco ancora il legno che Haman avea apprestato per Mardocheo, il quale diede quel buono avviso al re, è rizzato nella casa di Haman, alto cinquanta cubiti. E il re disse: Appiccatevelo su.

10 Haman adunque fu appiccato al legno ch’egli avea apprestato per Mardocheo. E l’ira del re si acquetò.
