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 Amán salió aquel día muy contento y de buen humor; pero cuando vio a Mardoqueo en la puerta del rey y notó que no se levantaba ni temblaba ante su presencia, se llenó de ira contra él.
10 No obstante, se contuvo y se fue a su casa.Luego llamó Amán a sus amigos y a Zeres, su esposa,
11 e hizo alarde de su enorme riqueza y de sus muchos hijos, y de cómo el rey lo había honrado en todo sentido ascendiéndolo sobre los funcionarios y demás servidores del rey.
12 —Es más —añadió Amán—, yo soy el único a quien la reina Ester invitó al banquete que le ofreció al rey. Y también me ha invitado a acompañarlo mañana.
13 Pero todo esto no significa nada para mí, mientras vea a ese judío Mardoqueo sentado a la puerta del rey.
