Esther 7:8
“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.”
KJV
Read in Esther 7Meaning
Haman's desperate appeal now appears compromising from the king's perspective. The narrative does not need Haman to intend assault; the king's interpretation is enough to seal his fate.
