Parallel
Esther 7:8
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the bed whereon Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me (note: Heb. with me) in the house? As the word went out of the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, “Would he actually assault the queen while I am in the palace?” As soon as the words had left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
