Esther 5:13-14 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. But all this does not really make me happy. I’m not happy as long as I see that Jew Mordecai sitting at the king’s gate.”

14. Then Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said, “Have a platform built to hang someone. Build it 75 feet high. And in the morning ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on it. Then go to the banquet with the king and be happy.” Haman liked this suggestion. So he ordered the platform to be built.
