| 6:1 | On that night <03915> could not <05074> (8804) the king <04428> sleep <08142>, and he commanded <0559> (8799) to bring <0935> (8687) the book <05612> of records <02146> of the chronicles <01697> <03117>; and they were read <07121> (8737) before <06440> the king <04428>. {could...: Heb. the king's sleep fled away} |
| 6:2 | And it was found <04672> (8735) written <03789> (8803), that Mordecai <04782> had told <05046> (8689) of Bigthana <0904> and Teresh <08657>, two <08147> of the king's <04428> chamberlains <05631>, the keepers <08104> (8802) of the door <05592>, who sought <01245> (8765) to lay <07971> (8800) hand <03027> on the king <04428> Ahasuerus <0325>. {Bigthana: also called, Bigthan} {door: Heb. threshold} |
| 6:3 | And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799), What honour <03366> and dignity <01420> hath been done <06213> (8738) to Mordecai <04782> for this? Then said <0559> (8799) the king's <04428> servants <05288> that ministered <08334> (8764) unto him, There is nothing <01697> done <06213> (8738) for him. |
| 6:4 | And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799), Who [is] in the court <02691>? Now Haman <02001> was come <0935> (8804) into the outward <02435> court <02691> of the king's <04428> house <01004>, to speak <0559> (8800) unto the king <04428> to hang <08518> (8800) Mordecai <04782> on the gallows <06086> that he had prepared <03559> (8689) for him. |
| 6:5 | And the king's <04428> servants <05288> said <0559> (8799) unto him, Behold, Haman <02001> standeth <05975> (8802) in the court <02691>. And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799), Let him come in <0935> (8799). |
| 6:6 | So Haman <02001> came in <0935> (8799). And the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) unto him, What shall be done <06213> (8800) unto the man <0376> whom the king <04428> delighteth <02654> (8804) to honour <03366>? Now Haman <02001> thought <0559> (8799) in his heart <03820>, To whom would the king <04428> delight <02654> (8799) to do <06213> (8800) honour <03366> more <03148> than to myself? {whom the king...: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth} |
| 6:7 | And Haman <02001> answered <0559> (8799) the king <04428>, For the man <0376> whom the king <04428> delighteth <02654> (8804) to honour <03366>, {whom the king...: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth} |
| 6:8 | Let the royal <04438> apparel <03830> be brought <0935> (8686) which the king <04428> [useth] to wear <03847> (8804), and the horse <05483> that the king <04428> rideth <07392> (8804) upon, and the crown <03804> royal <04438> which is set <05414> (8738) upon his head <07218>: {Let...: Heb. Let them bring the royal apparel} {which the king...: Heb. wherewith the king clotheth himself} |
| 6:9 | And let this apparel <03830> and horse <05483> be delivered <05414> (8800) to the hand <03027> of one <0376> of the king's <04428> most noble <06579> princes <08269>, that they may array <03847> (8689) the man <0376> [withal] whom the king <04428> delighteth <02654> (8804) to honour <03366>, and bring <07392> (8689) him on horseback <05483> through the street <07339> of the city <05892>, and proclaim <07121> (8804) before <06440> him, Thus shall it be done <06213> (8735) to the man <0376> whom the king <04428> delighteth <02654> (8804) to honour <03366>. {bring...: Heb. cause him to ride} |
| 6:10 | Then the king <04428> said <0559> (8799) to Haman <02001>, Make haste <04116> (8761), [and] take <03947> (8798) the apparel <03830> and the horse <05483>, as thou hast said <01696> (8765), and do <06213> (8798) even so to Mordecai <04782> the Jew <03064>, that sitteth <03427> (8802) at the king's <04428> gate <08179>: let nothing <01697> fail <05307> (8686) of all that thou hast spoken <01696> (8765). {let...: Heb. suffer not a whit to fall} |
| 6:11 | Then took <03947> (8799) Haman <02001> the apparel <03830> and the horse <05483>, and arrayed <03847> (8686) Mordecai <04782>, and brought him on horseback <07392> (8686) through the street <07339> of the city <05892>, and proclaimed <07121> (8799) before <06440> him, Thus shall it be done <06213> (8735) unto the man <0376> whom the king <04428> delighteth <02654> (8804) to honour <03366>. |
| 6:12 | And Mordecai <04782> came again <07725> (8799) to the king's <04428> gate <08179>. But Haman <02001> hasted <01765> (8738) to his house <01004> mourning <057>, and having his head <07218> covered <02645> (8802). |
| 6:13 | And Haman <02001> told <05608> (8762) Zeresh <02238> his wife <0802> and all his friends <0157> (8802) every [thing] that had befallen <07136> (8804) him. Then said <0559> (8799) his wise men <02450> and Zeresh <02238> his wife <0802> unto him, If Mordecai <04782> [be] of the seed <02233> of the Jews <03064>, before <06440> whom thou hast begun <02490> (8689) to fall <05307> (8800), thou shalt not prevail <03201> (8799) against him, but shalt surely <05307> (8800) fall <05307> (8799) before <06440> him. |
| 6:14 | And while they [were] yet talking <01696> (8764) with him, came <05060> (8689) the king's <04428> chamberlains <05631>, and hasted <0926> (8686) to bring <0935> (8687) Haman <02001> unto the banquet <04960> that Esther <0635> had prepared <06213> (8804). |
