Book 17 : ESTHER - Chapter 006
006:001
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
006:002
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
006:003
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
006:004
And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth
in the court. And the king said, Let him come in
006:005
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
006:006
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king
delighteth to honour
006:007
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
006:008
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
006:009
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
006:010
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
006:011
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted
to his house mourning, and having his head covered
006:012
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
006:013
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
