Esther 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:5

And the king's servants said unto him, behold, Haman standeth
in the court
In the outward court; for into the inward court none might enter without being called, for which he was waiting:

and the king said, let him come in;
into his bedchamber; and it was of God, no doubt, that Haman should be on the spot at this very time, when the king was in the humour to do honour to Mordecai, and by him.

4 The king asked, "Who is in the courtyard?" Haman had just entered the outer courtyard of the palace. He had come to speak to the king about putting Mordecai to death. He wanted to talk about putting Mordecai's body up on the pole he had gotten ready for him.

5 The king's attendants said to him, "Haman is standing in the courtyard." "Bring him in," the king ordered.

7 So he answered the king. He said, "Here is what you should do for the man you want to honor.
