Esther 6:6–9

6 Haman entered, and the king asked him, “What should be done for the man the king wants to honor?”ab

Haman thought to himself, “Who is it the king would want to honor more than me?” 7 Haman told the king, “For the man the king wants to honor: 8 Have them bring a royal garment that the king himself has worna and a horse the king himself has ridden,b which has a royal crown on its head. 9 Put the garment and the horse under the charge of one of the king’s most noble officials.c Have them clothe the man the king wants to honor, parade him on the horse through the city square, and call out before him, ‘This is what is done for the man the king wants to honor.’ ”
