5
So the king's servants told him, "Haman is there, standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."
6
So Haman came in, and the king said to him, "What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?"
7
and Haman said to the king, "For the man whom the king delights to honor,
8
let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse which the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set;
9
and let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble princes; let him array the man whom the king delights to honor, and let him conduct the man on horseback through the open square of the city, proclaiming before him: 'Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.'"
