'Standing' in the Bible

When the king saw Queen Esther standing in the courtyard she found favor in his eyes, and the king held out the gold scepter that [was] in his hand to Esther, and Esther approached and touched the top of the scepter.

And the king's servants said to him, "Look! Haman [is] standing in the courtyard." And the king said, "Let him come."
