Haman’s joy, but angry with Mordecai for contemning him, Est_5:9-13. By the counsel of his wife he builds a gallows for him, Est_5:14.

On the third day; of which See Poole "Est_4:16".

Esther put on her royal apparel; that she might render herself as amiable in the king’s eyes as she could, and so obtain her request.
