τῆς
αὐλῆς
τοῦ
βασιλέως
For both I and my people are sold for destruction, and pillage, and slavery; both we and our children for bondmen and bondwomen: and I consented not to it, for the slanderer is not worthy of the king's palace.
δὲ
ἀκούσας
τῷ
προσώπῳ
And the king returned from the garden; and Aman had fallen upon the bed, intreating the queen. And the king said, Wilt thou even force my wife in my house? And when Aman heard it, he changed countenance.
πεντήκοντα
εἶπεν
δὲ
ὁ
βασιλεύς
σταυρωθήτω
ἐπ᾿
αὐτοῦ
And Bugathan, one of the chamberlains, said to the king, Behold, Aman has also prepared a gallows for Mardochæus, who spoke concerning the king, and a gallows of fifty cubits high has been set up in the premises of Aman. And the king said, Let him be hanged thereon.
