Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Esther 7:9

_ _ Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows — This eunuch had probably been the messenger sent with the invitation to Haman, and on that occasion had seen the gallows. The information he now volunteered, as well it may be from abhorrence of Haman’s cold-blooded conspiracy as from sympathy with his amiable mistress, involved with her people in imminent peril.

Matthew Henry's Commentary
