Esther 5:13-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹³ Yet all this does me no good so long as I see the Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.’ ¹⁴ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, ‘Let a gallows fifty cubits high be made, and in the morning tell the king to have Mordecai hanged on it; then go with the king to the banquet in good spirits.’ This advice pleased Haman, and he had the gallows made.
