Ester 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 6:12

And Mordecai came again to the king's gate
To attend his post and office at court; which confirms what has been already hinted, that he was in some office in the court, which this phrase is expressive of, and not a porter at the gate; for it is not probable he should return to such a station, after so much honour had been done him; and much less that he returned to his sackcloth and fasting, as Jarchi and the former Targum; since he might reasonably conclude things were taking a turn in his favour, and that of his people; though as yet he knew not what success Esther had had, to wait for which he returned to court:

but Haman hasted to his house;
pushed forward as fast as he could:

mourning;
at his sad disappointment:

and having his head covered;
through grief and sorrow, confusion and shame; so Demosthenes, being hissed, went home with his head covered {c}, as confounded and ashamed to be seen F4.

Ester 6:12 In-Context

10 O rei ordenou então a Hamã: “Vá depressa apanhar o manto e o cavalo e faça ao judeu Mardoqueu o que você sugeriu. Ele está sentado junto à porta do palácio real. Não omita nada do que você recomendou”.
11 Então Hamã apanhou o cavalo, vestiu Mardoqueu com o manto e o conduziu sobre o cavalo pelas ruas da cidade, proclamando à frente dele: “Isto é o que se faz ao homem que o rei tem o prazer de honrar!”
12 Depois disso, Mardoqueu voltou para a porta do palácio real. Hamã, porém, correu para casa com o rosto coberto, muito aborrecido
13 e contou a Zeres, sua mulher, e a todos os seus amigos tudo o que lhe havia acontecido.Tanto os seus conselheiros como Zeres, sua mulher, lhe disseram: “Visto que Mardoqueu, diante de quem começou a sua queda, é de origem judaica, você não terá condições de enfrentá-lo. Sem dúvida, você ficará arruinado!”
14 E, enquanto ainda conversavam, chegaram os oficiais do rei e, às pressas, levaram Hamã para o banquete que Ester havia preparado.
