HAMAN’S EVIL PLOT
Esther Speaks for her People
After Esther had become queen, King Ahasuerus honored Haman, one of his aides, and set him above all the princes. He commanded all the palace servants to bow before Haman. But Mordecai the Jew, who worshiped only God, refused to bow to him. Outraged, Haman told the king, “There is a certain race of people scattered throughout your kingdom that refuses to obey the king’s laws. If it pleases the king, let a law be made that these Jews be destroyed.”
The king agreed to this request, and it was decided that all the Jews would be killed on a certain day. He gave Haman his ring to seal the new law. Soon many copies of it were rushed all over Persia. Then Haman celebrated by drinking wine with the king. But neither the king nor Haman knew that Queen Esther was a Jew.
The Jews were stunned when they heard of the terrible new law. Mordecai mourned openly in the city of Shushan. He told Esther to go and ask the king for mercy, even though she would be risking her life. “Who knows,” he said, “maybe God has brought you into the palace for such a time as this!”
After three days of fasting, Queen Esther dressed in her royal robes and went to the king. Would he condemn her to death for coming without being called? No, Ahasuerus welcomed her to him. Instead of making her real request known right away, she merely invited the king and Haman to a banquet she had planned.
How honored Haman felt! He boasted about it to his wife Zeresh. “But all this does me no good,” he said, “as long as I see Mordecai refusing to bow to me!”
“Well,” suggested Zeresh, “prepare a gallows for Mordecai. In the morning ask the king to let you hang him on it.”
King Ahasuerus knew that his queen had some special favor to ask. The second day at the banquet he said, “Tell me, what is your wish?”
Esther replied, “I only ask for my life and the lives of my people, for we are about to be killed by this wicked Haman.”
When the king heard this, he was furious with Haman. One of his servants said, “Haman has planned to hang Mordecai on a seventy-five foot gallows.”
“Hang Haman on it,” the king thundered. So Haman was hanged on his own gallows.
