פּירוש אויף אסתר 7:7

That it would end up. The evil, the hatred, and the vengeance were decided.

“The king in is fury, left the wine feast” [7:7]. Here one asks a question. Why does Scripture have to say, he stood up from the wine? It is obvious that he had drunk wine. The answer is that Scripture shows us that the Holy One protects a righteous person from sins. Esther made a banquet to drink wine offered to foreign gods and promised the king that she would drink wine offered to foreign gods. The Holy One caused that the king was angry and stood up from the banquet and Esther did not have to drink wine offered to foreign gods. One asks a question. With what did Haman want to defend himself? The answer is that Haman wanted to say to Esther: I did not know that you were of Israelite descent. I would not have done anything. Haman wanted to wait until the king left, since he had no answers for the king. Since Esther was Israelite, therefore he did not want to destroy Israel. Haman had prepared everything and he had no intention to allow Israel to live. He only said it to flatter Esther. He wanted to let her live and the king was very angry with Haman that he was flattering him. The king again returned from the garden and Haman had fallen on Esther’s bed. The angel had pushed him.⁴⁴B. Megillah, 16a. The king said: you want to violently force yourself on my queen in my house. Haman was embarrassed before the king.
