Esther 6:11 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:11

Then took Haman the apparel, and the horse
The one out of the wardrobe, the other out of the stable, and the crown also no doubt, though no mention is made of it, since the king made no objection to it, yea, commanded that nothing fail of what had been spoken; but this was included in the pomp and state of the led horse: and brought him on horseback through the street of the city; the most grand and public part of it, thus arrayed, and in this state: and proclaimed before him, thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour; (See Gill on Esther 6:9).

Esther 6:11 In-Context

9 et primus de regiis principibus, ac tyrannis teneat equum eius, et per plateam civitatis incedens clamet, et dicat: Sic honorabitur, quemcumque voluerit rex honorare.

10 Dixitque ei rex: Festina, et sumpta stola et equo, fac, ut locutus es, Mardochaeo Iudaeo, qui sedet ante fores palatii. Cave ne quidquam de his, quae locutus es, praetermittas.

11 Tulit itaque Aman stolam et equum, indutumque Mardochaeum in platea civitatis, et impositum equo praecedebat, atque clamabat: Hoc honore condignus est, quemcumque rex voluerit honorare.

12 Reversusque Mardochaeus ad ianuam palatii: et Aman festinavit ire in domum suam, lugens et operto capite:

13 narravitque Zares uxori suae, et amicis omnia quae evenissent sibi. Cui responderunt sapientes, quos habebat in consilio, et uxor eius: Si de semine Iudaeorum Mardochaeus, ante quem cadere coepisti, non poteris ei resistere, sed cades in conspectu eius.
