Ester 6:10-11

10 —¡Perfecto! —le dijo el rey a Amán—. ¡Rápido! Lleva mi manto y mi caballo, y haz todo lo que has dicho con Mardoqueo, el judío que se sienta a la puerta del palacio. ¡No pierdas ni un detalle de lo que has sugerido!

11 Entonces Amán tomó el manto y se lo puso a Mardoqueo, lo hizo montar el caballo del rey, y lo paseó por la plaza de la ciudad, gritando: «¡Esto es lo que el rey hace a quien él quiere honrar!».

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.
