    4The king asked, "Who is in the courtyard?" Now Haman had just entered the outer courtyard of the king’s palace to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him.

    5The king’s servants said to him, "Haman is standing in the courtyard." The king said, "Let him come in."

    6Haman entered, and the king said to him, "What should be done for the man whom the king delights to honor?" Now Haman thought to himself, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"

    7So Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,

    8let them bring a royal robe that the king himself has worn, and a horse that the king has ridden, with a royal crown placed on its head.

    9Let the robe and the horse be entrusted to one of the king’s most noble officials. Let them robe the man whom the king delights to honor, and have him ride on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him: ‘This is what shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor!’"

    10Then the king said to Haman, "Go quickly and take the robe and the horse, as you have suggested, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king’s gate. Do not neglect anything that you have said."

    11So Haman took the robe and the horse, robed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, proclaiming before him: "This is what shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor!"

    12Afterward, Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered in shame.

    1After these events, King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, elevating him and setting his position above all the officials who were with him.

    2All the king's servants who were at the king's gate would bow down and pay homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him. But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.

    3Then the king's servants who were at the gate asked Mordecai, "Why do you transgress the king's command?"

    4Day after day they spoke to him, but he refused to listen to them. So they reported the matter to Haman to see whether Mordecai’s behavior would stand, since he had told them that he was a Jew.

    5When Haman saw that Mordecai would not bow down or pay homage to him, he was filled with rage.

    6But he considered it beneath him to attack Mordecai alone, for they had told him about Mordecai’s people. So Haman sought to destroy all the Jews throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus, the people of Mordecai.
