1. "Spare my people" (1-6a)

The king and Haman arrived at the second banquet Queen Esther had prepared for them. Again, the king asked her what her request was. This time, she told him. She pleaded with the king to grant her her life and to spare her people. She didn't hide the truth. She laid it all out before the king-the plot against all the Jewish people in the whole kingdom. And she pointed to Haman as the instigator of this vile scheme against God's people. Because of her faith and the prayers of her people, she was not afraid to confront the enemy of God's people in front of the king.

2. Haman is hanged (6b-10)

Haman knew the jig was up. He was caught red-handed. He was terrified. The king was so angry he left the room. Haman begged the queen for his life, and when the king returned, he thought Haman was molesting the queen. The king ordered Haman to be hanged. One of the king's eunuchs told the king about a 75-foot gallows standing outside Haman's house, the one made to hang Mordecai. There, the king ordered Haman hanged. When we are faithful, God is with us.
