Ester 6:10-11

10 Allora il re disse ad Haman: Prendi prestamente i vestimenti, e il cavallo, come tu hai detto, e fa’ così a Mardocheo, quel Giudeo che siede alla porta del re; non tralasciar nulla di tutto ciò che tu hai detto.

11 Haman adunque prese i vestimenti, e il cavallo, e vestì Mardocheo, e lo fece cavalcar per le strade della città; e gridava davanti a lui: Così deve farsi a colui che il re vuole onorare.

Ester 6:10-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ESTHER 6

Ahasuerus, not being able to sleep in the night, ordered the book of records to be brought and read to him, where a fact of Mordecai's was registered, and, upon inquiry, it appeared that nothing had been done to him for it, Es 6:1-3 and Haman being in the outward court, was ordered in, with whom the king consulted what should be done to the man the king delighted to honour; to which Haman gave answer, and was bid to do as he said, Es 6:4-10, which he did, but went home after it confounded and sorrowful, and told his mournful case to his wife and friends, who plainly foresaw his downfall, Es 6:11-14.
