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 Naquele dia, Hamã saiu alegre e contente. Mas ficou furioso quando viu que Mardoqueu, que estava junto à porta do palácio real, não se levantou nem mostrou respeito em sua presença.
10 Hamã, porém, controlou-se e foi para casa.Reunindo seus amigos e Zeres, sua mulher,
11 Hamã vangloriou-se de sua grande riqueza, de seus muitos filhos e de como o rei o havia honrado e promovido acima de todos os outros nobres e oficiais.
12 E acrescentou Hamã: “Além disso, sou o único que a rainha Ester convidou para acompanhar o rei ao banquete que ela lhe ofereceu. Ela me convidou para comparecer amanhã, com o rei.
13 Mas tudo isso não me dará satisfação enquanto eu vir aquele judeu Mardoqueu sentado junto à porta do palácio real”.
