6 Entonces Amán entró, y el rey dijo:

Amán pensó para sí: «¿A quién querría honrar el rey más que a mí?».

Ester 6:6 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:6

So Haman came in
But was prevented speaking to the king about the business he came upon by the following speech of the king:

what shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour?
he mentions not the name of any man, that he might the more freely, and unbiasedly, and disinterestedly give his advice; nor might the king know of any resentment of Haman to Mordecai:

(now Haman thought in his heart, to whom would the king delight to do
honour more than to myself?)
who had been advanced above all the princes and nobles of the realm, and was now in such high honour both with the king and queen, with whom he was to be at a banquet that day; and he might conclude, that by putting this question to him, he could have in view none but himself: Aben Ezra observes, that some from hence gather, that this book was written by the spirit of prophecy, because none could know the thoughts of the heart but God; but though he believes it to be written by the Holy Ghost, yet, as he observes, Haman might disclose this thought of his heart to his friends afterwards.

Ester 6:6 In-Context

4 —¿Quién está en el patio exterior? —preguntó el rey.
Resulta que Amán acababa de llegar al patio exterior del palacio para pedirle al rey que atravesara a Mardoqueo en el poste que había preparado.

5 Entonces los asistentes contestaron al rey:
—Es Amán el que está en el patio.
—Háganlo pasar —ordenó el rey.

6 Entonces Amán entró, y el rey dijo:
—¿Qué debo hacer para honrar a un hombre que verdaderamente me agrada?
Amán pensó para sí: «¿A quién querría honrar el rey más que a mí?».

7 Así que contestó:
—Si el rey desea honrar a alguien,

8 debería sacar uno de los mantos reales que haya usado el rey y también un caballo que el propio rey haya montado, uno que tenga un emblema real en la frente.
