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 Salió Amán aquel día alegre y con corazón contento; pero cuando Amán vio a Mardoqueo en la puerta del rey y que éste no se levantaba ni temblaba delante de él, Amán se llenó de furor contra Mardoqueo.
10 Amán, sin embargo, se contuvo, fue a su casa, y mandó traer a sus amigos y a su mujer Zeres.
11 Entonces Amán les contó la gloria de sus riquezas, la multitud de sus hijos, y todas las ocasiones en que el rey le había engrandecido, y cómo le había exaltado sobre los príncipes y siervos del rey.
12 Y Amán añadió: Aun la reina Ester no permitió que nadie, excepto yo, viniera con el rey al banquete que ella había preparado; y también para mañana estoy invitado por ella junto con el rey.
13 Sin embargo nada de esto me satisface mientras vea al judío Mardoqueo sentado a la puerta del rey.
