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.
