Esther 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Esther 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. |
| |
|
|
| Esther 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. |
| |
|
|
| Esther 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. |
| |
|
|
| Esther 6:5 |
|
And the king's servants said unto him, Behold,
Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. |
| |
|
|
| Esther 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? |
| |
|
|
| Esther 6:7 |
|
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom
the king delighteth to honour, |
|
|
|
| Esther 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: |
|
|
|
| Esther 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. |
|
|
|
| Esther 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. |
|
|
|
| Esther 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. |
|
|
|
| Esther 6:12 |
|
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate.
But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. |
|
|
|
| Esther 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. |
|
|
|
| Esther 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. |
