Esther 6:3-9

3The kingH4428 inquiredH559, “WhatH4100 honorH3366 or dignityH1420 has been bestowedH6213 on MordecaiH4782 forH5921 this actH2088?”

“NothingH3808H1697 has been doneH6213 for himH5973,” repliedH559 the king’sH4428 attendantsH5288H8334.

4“WhoH4310 is in the courtH2691?” the kingH4428 askedH559.

Now HamanH2001 had just enteredH935 the outerH2435 courtH2691 of the palaceH1004H4428 to askH559 the kingH4428 to hangH8518 MordecaiH4782 onH5921 the gallowsH6086 he had preparedH3559 for him. 5So the king’sH4428H413 attendantsH5288 answered himH559, “HamanH2001 is thereH2009, standingH5975 in the courtH2691.”

“Bring him inH935,” orderedH559 the kingH4428.

6HamanH2001 enteredH935, and the kingH4428 askedH559 him, “WhatH4100 should be doneH6213 for the manH376 whomH834 the kingH4428 is delightedH2654 to honorH3366?”

Now HamanH2001 thoughtH559 to himselfH3820, “WhomH4310 would the kingH4428 be delightedH2654 to honorH6213H3366 moreH3148 than meH4480?”

7And HamanH2001H413 toldH559 the kingH4428, “For the manH376 whomH834 the kingH4428 is delightedH2654 to honorH3366, 8have them bringH935 a royalH4438 robeH3830 thatH834 the king himselfH4428 has wornH3847 and a horseH5483 on whichH834 the king himselfH4428 has riddenH7392—one withH834 a royalH4438 crestH3804 placedH5414 on its headH7218. 9LetH5414 the robeH3830 and the horseH5483 be entrustedH5921H3027 to oneH376 of the king’sH4428 most nobleH6579 princesH8269. Let them arrayH3847 the manH376 the kingH4428 wantsH2654 to honorH3366 and parade himH7392 onH5921 the horseH5483 through the cityH5892 squareH7339, proclaimingH7121 before himH6440, ‘This is whatH3602 is doneH6213 for the manH376 whomH834 the kingH4428 is delightedH2654 to honorH3366!’”
