Esther 5:13-14

13 Yet all of this [a]does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at (A)the king’s gate.” 14 Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “(B)Have a [b]gallows fifty cubits high made and in the morning ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet.” And the [c]advice pleased Haman, so he had the gallows made.

Esther 5:13-14
1599 Geneva Bible
13 But all this doth nothing avail me, as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.
14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let them make a tree of fifty [a]cubits high, and tomorrow speak thou unto the king, that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then shalt thou go joyfully with the king unto the banquet. And the thing pleased Haman, and he caused to make the tree.
