Ester 5:11 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 5:11

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches
Of the multitude of them; which he did partly in a way of ostentation, and partly, if he could, to make his mind easy under the mortification he received from Mordecai; and, it may be, chiefly to aggravate his rudeness and ill behaviour towards him, a man of so much wealth: and the multitude of his children; he had ten, as we learn from ( Esther 9:10 ) , but the former Targum enlarges them, beyond credit, to the number of two hundred and eight, besides his ten sons, and Shimshai the scribe; such were had in great esteem with the Persians who had many children; to such the king used to send gifts annually F11:

and all the things wherein the king had promoted him;
the high offices of honour and trust he had put him into:

and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.
See ( Esther 3:1 ) .

Ester 5:11 In-Context

9 Então naquele dia Hamã saiu alegre e de bom ânimo; porém, vendo Mardoqueu � porta do rei, e que ele não se levantava nem tremia diante dele, Hamã se encheu de furor contra Mardoqueu.
10 Contudo Hamã se refreou, e foi para casa; enviou e mandou vir os seus amigos, e Zéres, sua mulher.
11 E contou-lhes Hamã a glória de suas riquezas, a multidão de seus filhos, e tudo em que o rei o tinha engrandecido, e como o havia exaltado sobre os príncipes e servos do rei.
12 E acrescentou: Tampouco a rainha Ester a ninguém fez vir com o rei ao banquete que preparou, senão a mim; e também para amanhã estou convidado por ela juntamente com o rei.
13 Todavia tudo isso não me satisfaz, enquanto eu vir o judeu Mardoqueu sentado � porta do rei.
