6 But that very night sleep left the king; so he had the book of annals brought and read aloud in his presence, 2 and in it was found the story of how Mordecai had given information about Bigthan and Teresh, two of the royal eunuchs who guarded the king’s apartments and who had tried to murder king Xerxes. 3 The king asked, “What honour, what dignity has been conferred on Mordecai for this service?” The king’s pages who waited on him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” 4 Then said the king, “Who is in attendance at court?” Now Haman had entered the outer court to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had erected; 5 so the king’s pages said to him, “There is Haman, standing in the court!” “Let him enter,” said the king. 6 So in came Haman. And the king asked him, “What should be done to the man whom the king delights to honour?” Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king delight to honour more than myself?” 7 Then said Haman to the king, “As for the man whom the king delights to honour, 8 let them bring a royal robe which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden, with a royal crown upon its head; 9 let robe and horse be entrusted to one of the king’s highest officials, to see that the man whom the king delights to honour is arrayed and led on horseback through the city-square, with the proclamation, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king delights to honour.’ ” 10 And the king said to Haman, “Quick, get the robe and the horse as you have said, and do all this to Mordecai the Jew who sits at the king’s Gate; leave out nothing of what you have proposed.”
11 So Haman took the robe and the horse and arrayed Mordecai and made him ride through the city-square, proclaiming before him, “This is what is done for the man whom the king delights to honour.”
12 Mordecai went back to the king’s Gate, but Haman hurried home lamenting, with his head veiled. 13 And when Haman recounted to his wife Zeresh and to all his friends everything that had befallen him, his advisers and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, belongs to the Jewish race, you will never succeed against him; you will fail and fall before him.”
14 Just as they were talking to him, the royal eunuchs hurried in to fetch Haman to the banquet wMch Esther had prepared.
