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 Y salió Amán aquel día contento y alegre de corazón; pero cuando vio a Mardoqueo a la puerta del rey, que no se levantaba ni se movía de su lugar, se llenó de ira contra Mardoqueo
10 Mas se refrenó Amán, y vino a su casa, y envió, e hizo venir sus amigos, y a Zeres su mujer
11 Y les refirió Amán la gloria de sus riquezas, y la multitud de sus hijos, y todas las cosas con que el rey le había engrandecido y con que le había ensalzado sobre los príncipes y siervos del rey
12 Y añadió Amán: También la reina Ester a ninguno hizo venir con el rey al banquete que ella dispuso, sino a mí; y aun para mañana soy convidado de ella con el rey
13 Mas todo esto nada me sirve cada vez que veo al judío Mardoqueo sentado a la puerta del rey
