Esther 6:3-9
3And the kingH4428 saidH559, What honourH3366 and dignityH1420 hath been bestowedH6213 upon MordecaiH4782 for this? Then saidH559 the king’sH4428 servantsH5288 that ministeredH8334 to him, There is nothingH1697 doneH6213 for him.
4And the kingH4428 saidH559, Who is in the courtH2691? Now HamanH2001 had comeH935 into the outerH2435 courtH2691 of the king’sH4428 houseH1004, to speakH559 to the kingH4428 to hangH8518 MordecaiH4782 on the gallowsH6086 that he had preparedH3559 for him. 5And the king’sH4428 servantsH5288 saidH559 to him, Behold, HamanH2001 standethH5975 in the courtH2691. And the kingH4428 saidH559, Let him come inH935. 6So HamanH2001 came inH935. And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, What shall be doneH6213 to 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 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
