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 myself?
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.
