Esther 6:14 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:14

And while they were yet talking with him
About these things, and giving their opinion of the issue of them, upon the present appearance of them:

came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the
banquet that Esther had prepared;
the time appointed for it being very near, or quite up, and Haman being backward and dilatory, having no stomach to go to it, and perhaps fearing worse things were coming upon him he should hear of there.

Esther 6:14 In-Context

12 Then Mordecai returned to the King's Gate, but Haman fled to his house, thoroughly mortified, hiding his face.
13 When Haman had finished telling his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his knowledgeable friends who were there and his wife Zeresh said, "If this Mordecai is in fact a Jew, your bad luck has only begun. You don't stand a chance against him - you're as good as ruined."
14 While they were still talking, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried Haman off to the dinner that Esther had prepared.
