Esther 6:3-9

3And the kingH4428 saidH559, What honorH3366 and dignity hath been bestowed on MordecaiH4782 for this? Then saidH559 the king’sH4428 servantsH5288 that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. 4And the kingH4428 saidH559, Who is in the courtH2691? Now HamanH2001 was comeH935 into the outward courtH2691 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, to speak unto the kingH4428 to hangH8518 MordecaiH4782 on the gallowsH6086 that he had preparedH3559 for him. 5And the king’sH4428 servantsH5288 saidH559 unto him, Behold, HamanH2001 standeth in the courtH2691. And the kingH4428 saidH559, Let him comeH935 in. 6So HamanH2001 cameH935 in. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, What shall be done unto the manH376 whom the kingH4428 delighteth to honorH3366? Now HamanH2001 saidH559 in his heartH3820, To whom would the kingH4428 delightH2654 to do honorH3366 moreH4480 than to myself? 7And HamanH2001 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, For the manH376 whom the kingH4428 delighteth to honorH3366, 8let royal apparel be broughtH935 which the kingH4428 useth to wearH3847, and the horseH5483 that the kingH4428 rideth upon, and on the headH7218 of which a crownH3804 royal is setH5414: 9and let the apparel and the horseH5483 be delivered to the handH3027 of oneH376 of the king’sH4428 most noble princesH8269, that they may array the manH376 therewith whom the kingH4428 delighteth to honorH3366, and cause him to rideH7392 on horseback through the street of the cityH5892, and proclaimH7121 before him, ThusH3602 shall it be done to the manH376 whom the kingH4428 delighteth to honorH3366.
