17:005:014 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends
unto him, Let a
gallows
be made of fifty cubits high, and to morrow speak thou
unto
the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon:
then go
thou
in merrily with the king unto the banquet. And
the thing
pleased
Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
17:006:001 On that night could not the king sleep,
and he commanded to
bring
the book of records of the chronicles; and they were
read
before the king.
17:006:002 And it was found written, that Mordecai
had told of Bigthana
and
Teresh, two of the king’s chamberlains, the keepers
of the
door,
who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.
17:006:003 And the king said, What honour and dignity
hath been done to
Mordecai
for this? Then said the king’s servants
that
ministered
unto him, There is nothing done for him.
17:006:004 And the king said, Who is in the court?
Now Haman was come
into
the outward court of the king’s house, to speak
unto the
king
to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared
for
him.
17:006:005 And the king’s servants said unto
him, Behold, Haman standeth
in
the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
17:006:006 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?
17:006:007 And Haman answered the king, For the man
whom the king
delighteth
to honour,
17:006:008 Let the royal apparel be brought which
the king useth to wear,
and
the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown
royal
which
is set upon his head:
17:006:009 And let this apparel and horse be delivered
to the hand of one
of
the king’s most noble princes, that they may
array the man
withal
whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on
horseback
through the street of the city, and proclaim before
him,
Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth
to
honour.
17:006:010 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste,
and take the apparel
and
the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai
the
Jew, that sitteth at the king’s gate: let
nothing fail of
all
that thou hast spoken.
17:006:011 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse,
and arrayed
Mordecai,
and brought him on horseback through the street of
the
city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done
unto
the man whom the king delighteth to honour.
