Esther_Chapter 6
That night the king couldn’t sleep, so he ordered people to bring history and read it to him.
Just as it was written in a book, it was said that there were two gatekeepers among the king’s eunuchs, Bitan and Tired, who wanted to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. Mordecai told the queen about this.
The king said, What honor and title have Mordecai bestowed upon him. The servants who served the king answered, “I have not given him anything.”.
Wang said, who is in the yard. (At that time, Haman was entering the outer courtyard of the palace and requesting the king to hang Mordecai on the wooden frame he had prepared.)
My servant said, Haman is standing in the courtyard. Wang said, call him in.
Haman, go in. The king asked him, “What should we do to those whom the king is pleased with and honored with?”? Haman thought to himself, “Who am I that the king is pleased with and honored with?”?
And Haman answered, saying, The man whom the king delights in and honors,
When the court uniform worn by Wang Chang and the imperial horse with a crown,
All of them were handed over to a highly esteemed minister of the king, who ordered him to put on clothes for those whom the king was pleased with and honored with, so that he could ride his horse and travel through the streets of the city, proclaiming before him, ‘This is how the king treated those who are pleased with and honored with honor.’.
The king said to Haman, ‘Quickly take this garment and the horse, as you said, and go to Mordecai the Judah sitting at the court gate.’. Everything you say is indispensable.
So Haman put on the court robe for Mordecai and had him ride his horse through the streets of the city, proclaiming before him, ‘This is how the king treats those who are pleased and honored.’.
Mordecai returned to the court gate, but Haman covered his head in sorrow and hurried home.
Tell his wife Zeris and all his friends in detail about everything that happened. His wise men and his wife Zerith said to him, “If you were a Jew, you would not be able to overcome Mordecai, and you would eventually be defeated before him.”.
While they were still talking to Haman, the king’s eunuchs came to urge Haman to go quickly to the banquet prepared by Esther.
