7:6-10 Haman’s hatred and evil plotting turned against him when the king discovered his true intentions. He was hanged on the gallows he had set up for someone else. Proverbs 26:27 teaches that if you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. What happened to Haman shows the often violent results of setting any kind of trap for others.
7:8 A veil was placed over the face of someone condemned to death because Persian kings refused to look upon the face of a condemned person.
