Esther 6:1–6

On that night †could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring athe book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of ||Bigthana and bTeresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers of the †door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. 3 And the king said, What chonour and cdignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king’s servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. 4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into dthe outward court of the king’s house, eto speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. 5 And the king’s servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in. 6 So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man †whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?
