1 That night sleep escaped the king; so he ordered the Book of Records, the Chronicles,6:1 Or the Book of Memorials, the Annals or the Book of Records of Historical Eventsto be brought in and read to him. 2 And there it was found recorded that Mordecaihad exposed Bigthana6:2 Bigthana is a variant of Bigthan; see Esther 2:21.and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who guarded the king’s entrance, when they had conspired to assassinate King Xerxes.
3 The king inquired, "What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecaifor this act?"
"Nothing has been done for him," replied the king’s attendants.
4 "Who is in the court?" the king asked.
Now Hamanhad just entered the outer court of the palace to ask the king to hang Mordecaion the gallows he had prepared for him. 5 So the king’s attendants answered him, "Hamanis there, standing in the court."
"Bring him in," ordered the king.
6 Hamanentered, and the king asked him, "What should be done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor?"
Now Hamanthought to himself, "Whom would the king be delighted to honor more than me?"
7 And Hamantold the king, "For the man whom the king is delighted to honor, 8 have them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden— one with a royal crest placed on its head. 9 Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble princes. Let them array the man the king wants to honor and parade him on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!’"
10 "Hurry," said the king to Haman, "and do just as you proposed. Take the robe and the horse to Mordecaithe Jew, who is sitting at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have suggested."
11 So Hamantook the robe and the horse, arrayed Mordecai, and paraded him through the city square, crying out before him, "This is what is done for the man whom the king is delighted to honor!"
12 Then Mordecaireturned to the king’s gate. But Hamanrushed home, with his head covered in grief.
13 Hamantold his wife Zereshand all his friends everything that had happened. His advisers and his wife Zereshsaid to him, "Since Mordecai, before whom your downfall has begun, is Jewish, you will not prevail against him — for surely you will fall before him."
14 While they were still speaking with Haman, the king’s eunuchs arrived and rushed him to the banquet that Estherhad prepared.
