Esther 7:7–10, “And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king. Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face. And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, 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. Then the king said, Hang him thereon. So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.”
The king was angry and went outside, into the garden, so that he could process the information. Haman came over to Esther’s place at the banquet and began to beg her for mercy. He understood that he was in deep trouble and Esther was the only person who could save him. When the king came back, he saw Haman close to the bed on which Esther was lying to eat the banquet. He was even more angry and wondered if Haman was trying to rape the queen. He made his accusation out loud and one of the servants covered Haman’s face, a sure sign that he was condemned to death. The servants told the king about the gallows that Haman had made for Mordecai so Haman was hanged on his own gallows
