And Esther said, the adversary and enemy is this wicked
Haman,
&c.] Who was not only an enemy to her and her people, but an
adversary to the king, by advising and persuading him to that
which was to the loss of his revenues, as well as of his
reputation; also, she pointed at him, and gave him his just
character; her charge of wickedness upon him, as it was true, it
was honourably made to his face before the king, of which, if he
could, he had the opportunity of exculpating himself:
then Haman was afraid before the king and the
queen;
gave visible signs of his confusion, consternation, and trouble
of mind, by the fall of his countenance, his pale looks, his
trembling limbs, and quivering lips, being struck dumb, and not
able to speak one word for himself.
