Chapter 5- Esther throws a banquet for the king, and he tells her he would give her anything, but she doesn't give her petition, yet. Haman builds a gallows seventy- five feet tall to hang Mordecai on.
Chapter 6- Xerses cannot sleep and so he wants his the record of his reign read to him, remembers Mordecai saved him when his guards were planning on killing him. Asked what he did to repay him, was told nothing. Then Haman came in and the king asked what he should do to honor someone and Haman gave his opinion without realizing that it was Mordecai who he hates and has to ride him through town on the king's horse and in the king's robes.
Chapter 7- Esther throws another banquet for Xerses and Haman, asks Xerses to save her people and then Haman tries to beg for his life from Esther but it looks like rape and Haman is hung on the gallows he built for Mordecai.
