Esther 7:9

9. Harbonah… said This eunuch had been many years in Xerxes’ service. Comp. Esther 1:10.

Behold also the gallows “We are not told that the king said, Who is in the court? and they answered, Mordecai is in the outer court; and he said, Let him come in: nor that the king said, What shall be done to the man who has dishonoured the king and sought the life of the queen? and Mordecai said, Let him be hanged on a gallows fifty cubits high. Nothing of this kind happened. Haman resented the conduct of Mordecai in refusing him the honours of which he was so covetous. But Mordecai never touched a hair of his head. It was not he, but one of those who had been most lavish of their adulations, and had fawned most servilely upon him, who moved his death, and pointed to the mode of its execution.” M’Crie. In all the range of literature we find no more signal display of righteous retribution than in the death of Haman.
