Esther 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:5

And the king's servants said unto him, behold, Haman standeth
in the court
In the outward court; for into the inward court none might enter without being called, for which he was waiting:

and the king said, let him come in;
into his bedchamber; and it was of God, no doubt, that Haman should be on the spot at this very time, when the king was in the humour to do honour to Mordecai, and by him.

Esther 6:5 In-Context

3 The king asked, "What honor and reward have been given to Mordecai for this?" The king's personal servants answered, "Nothing has been done for Mordecai."

4 The king said, "Who is in the courtyard?" Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace. He had come to ask the king about hanging Mordecai on the platform he had prepared.

5 The king's personal servants said, "Haman is standing in the courtyard." The king said, "Bring him in."

6 So Haman came in. And the king asked him, "What should be done for a man whom the king wants very much to honor?" And Haman thought to himself, "Whom would the king want to honor more than me?"

7 So he answered the king, "This is what you could do for the man you want very much to honor.
