Esther 6:3-9

3Then the king said, “What honor or dignity has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” And the king’s servants who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” 4So the king said, “Who is in the courtyard?” Now Haman had just 1entered the outer courtyard of the king’s palace in order to speak to the king about 2hanging Mordecai on the wooden gallows which he had prepared for him. 5So the king’s servants said to him, “Behold, Haman is standing in the courtyard.” And the king said, “Have him come in.” 6Haman then came in and the king said to him, “What is to be done for the man 3whom the king desires to honor?” And Haman said 4to himself, “Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?” 7Therefore Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king desires to honor, 8have them bring a royal robe which the king has worn, and 5the horse on which the king has ridden, and on whose head 6a royal turban has been placed; 9then order them to hand the robe and the horse over to one of the king’s noble officials, and have them dress the man whom the king desires to honor, and lead him on horseback through the city square, 7and proclaim before him, ‘So it shall be done for the man whom the king desires to honor.’”
