ES-6:1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded
to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were
read before the king.
ES-6:2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of
Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers
of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
ES-6:3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done
to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that
ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.
ES-6:4 And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was
come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto
the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared
for him.
ES-6:5 And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman
standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
ES-6:6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall
be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour? Now
Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do
honour more than to mysel
ES-6:7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king
delighteth to honour,
ES-6:8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth]
to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown
royal which is set upon his head:
ES-6:9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand
of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the
man [withal] whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him
on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before
him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth
to honour.
ES-6:10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, [and] take the
apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to
Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing
fail of all that thou hast spoken.
ES-6:11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed
Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the
city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the
man whom the king delighteth to honour.
ES-6:12 And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman
hasted to his house \\\mourning, and having his head covered.
ES-6:13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every
[thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh
his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews,
before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail
against him, but shalt surely fall before him.
ES-6:14 And while they [were] yet talking with him, came the
king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet
that Esther had prepared.
