Esther 6:10-11

10 Dixitque ei rex: Festina, et sumpta stola et equo, fac, ut locutus es, Mardochaeo Iudaeo, qui sedet ante fores palatii. Cave ne quidquam de his, quae locutus es, praetermittas.

11 Tulit itaque Aman stolam et equum, indutumque Mardochaeum in platea civitatis, et impositum equo praecedebat, atque clamabat: Hoc honore condignus est, quemcumque rex voluerit honorare.

Esther 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.
