3Then the kingH4428 saidH559, “WhatH4100 honorH3366 or dignityH1420 has been bestowedH6213 on MordecaiH4782 for thisH2088?” And the king’sH4428 servantsH5288 who attendedH8334 him saidH559, “NothingH3808H1697 has been doneH6213 for him.” 4So the kingH4428 saidH559, “WhoH4310 is in the courtyardH2691?” Now HamanH2001 had just 1enteredH935 the outerH2435 courtyardH2691 of the king’sH4428 palaceH1004 in order to speakH559 to the kingH4428 about 2hangingH8518 MordecaiH4782 on the woodenH6086 gallows whichH834 he had preparedH3559 for him. 5So the king’sH4428 servantsH5288 saidH559 to him, “BeholdH2009, HamanH2001 is standingH5975 in the courtyardH2691.” And the kingH4428 saidH559, “Have him comeH935 inH935.” 6HamanH2001 then cameH935 inH935 and the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “WhatH4100 is to be doneH6213 for the manH376 3whomH834 the kingH4428 desiresH2654 to honorH3366?” And HamanH2001 saidH559 4to himselfH3820, “WhomH4310 would the kingH4428 desireH2654 to honorH6213H3366 moreH3148 thanH4480 me?” 7Therefore HamanH2001 saidH559 to the kingH4428, “For the manH376 whomH834 the kingH4428 desiresH2654 to honorH3366, 8have them bringH935 a royalH4438 robeH3830 whichH834 the kingH4428 has wornH3847, and 5the horseH5483 on whichH834 the kingH4428 has riddenH7392, and on whoseH834 headH7218 6a royalH4438 turbanH3804 has been placedH5414; 9then order them to handH5414H3027 the robeH3830 and the horseH5483 overH5921 to oneH376 of the king’sH4428 nobleH6579 officialsH8269, and have them dressH3847 the manH376 whomH834 the kingH4428 desiresH2654 to honorH3366, and leadH7392 him on horsebackH5483 through the cityH5892 squareH7339, 7and proclaimH7121 beforeH6440 him, ‘SoH3602 it shall be doneH6213 for the manH376 whomH834 the kingH4428 desiresH2654 to honorH3366.’”
