Esther 6:6-9
6So HamanH2001 came inH935. And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, What shall be doneH6213 unto the manH376 whom the kingH4428 delightethH2654 to honourH3366? Now HamanH2001 thoughtH559 in his heartH3820, To whom would the kingH4428 delightH2654 to doH6213 honourH3366 moreH3148 than to myself?1
7And HamanH2001 answeredH559 the kingH4428, For the manH376 whom the kingH4428 delightethH2654 to honourH3366,2
8Let the royalH4438 apparelH3830 be broughtH935 which the kingH4428 useth to wearH3847, and the horseH5483 that the kingH4428 ridethH7392 upon, and the crownH3804 royalH4438 which is setH5414 upon his headH7218:34
9And let this apparelH3830 and horseH5483 be deliveredH5414 to the handH3027 of oneH376 of the king’sH4428 most nobleH6579 princesH8269, that they may arrayH3847 the manH376 withal whom the kingH4428 delightethH2654 to honourH3366, and bringH7392 him on horsebackH5483 through the streetH7339 of the cityH5892, and proclaimH7121 beforeH6440 him, Thus shall it be doneH6213 to the manH376 whom the kingH4428 delightethH2654 to honourH3366.5
