Esther 7:9

And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king ,.... One of the seven chamberlains, see Esther 1:10 , his name, with Josephus F25 Antiqu. l. 11. c. 6. sect. 11. , is Sabouchadas.

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 . This man, perhaps, had seen it there, when he went with others to fetch Haman to the banquet, Esther 6:14 . The sin of Haman is aggravated by preparing a gallows for a man before he was accused to the king, or condemned, or had a grant for his execution, and for a man that had well deserved of the king for discovering a conspiracy against him, and whom now the king had delighted to honour:

then the king said, hang him thereon ; immediately, being ready prepared, the king's word was enough, being a sovereign and tyrannical prince.
