Esther 6:9

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.'"

Esther 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:9

And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one
of the king's most noble princes
The one,

that they may array the man withal whom the king delighteth to honour;
and the other to be led in state before him:

and bring him on horseback through the street of the city;
on another horse, that all might see what honour was done him:

and proclaim before him;
as before Joseph, when advanced next to Pharaoh, ( Genesis 41:43 ) this was not to be done by an herald, but by a nobleman, to whom the apparel and horse were to be delivered, and was done by Haman, ( Esther 6:11 ) ,

thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour;
these were the words said in the proclamation, signifying this was the man the king delighted to honour, and this the manner in which he would have it done.

Esther 6:9 In-Context

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.'"

10 Then the king said to Haman, "Make haste, take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mor'decai the Jew who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned."

11 So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he arrayed Mor'decai and made him ride through the open square of the city, proclaiming, "Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor."
