Esther 5:12 Meaning and Commentary

Esther 5:12

Haman said, moreover
To all which he added, and what seemed to delight him most of all, or however was a new additional honour done him:

yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the
banquet that she had prepared but myself;
which he judged was doing him singular honour; and, by the joint affection of the king and queen to him, he thought himself established in his dignity and grandeur:

and tomorrow am I invited unto her also with the king;
had been invited, not by a messenger, but by the queen herself, which was a double honour.

Esther 5:12 In-Context

10 et dissimulata ira, reversus in domum suam, convocavit ad se amicos suos, et Zares uxorem suam:
11 et exposuit illis magnitudinem divitiarum suarum, filiorumque turbam, et quanta eum gloria super omnes principes et servos suos rex elevasset.
12 Et post haec ait: Regina quoque Esther nullum alium vocavit ad convivium cum rege, praeter me: apud quam etiam cras cum rege pransurus sum.
13 Et cum haec omnia habeam, nihil me habere puto, quamdiu videro Mardochaeum Iudaeum sedentem ante fores regias.
14 Responderuntque ei Zales uxor eius, et ceteri amici: Iube parari excelsam trabem, habentem altitudinis quinquaginta cubitos, et dic mane regi ut appendatur super eam Mardochaeus, et sic ibis cum rege laetus ad convivium. Placuit ei consilium, et iussit excelsam parari crucem.
