1 The same night the King slept not, & he comanded to bring ye booke of the records, and the chronicles: & they were read before ye King.

2 Then it was found written that Mordecai had tolde of Bigtana, and Teresh two of the Kings eunuches, keepers of the dore, who sought to lay hands on the King Ahashuerosh.

3 And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to MordecaiFor he thought it unworthy of his estate to receive a benefit and not reward it.for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him.

4 And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king toThus while the wicked imagine the destruction of others, they themselves fall into the same pit.hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

5 And the Kings seruants said vnto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court; the King sayd, Let him come in.

6 And when Haman came in, the King saide vnto him, What shalbe done vnto ye man, whom the King will honour? Then Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the King do honour more then to me?

7 And Haman answered the King, The man whome the King would honour,

8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king [useth] to wear, and theMeaning by this that the king should make him next to himself as Joseph was known to be next to Pharaoh in (Gen_41:43).horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:

9 And let the raiment and the horse be deliuered by the hand of one of the Kings most noble princes, & let them apparel the man (whome the King will honour) and cause him to ride vpon the horse thorow the streete of the citie, and proclayme before him, Thus shall it be done vnto the man, whome the King will honour.

10 Then the King said to Haman, Make haste, take the rayment and the horse as thou hast said, and doe so vnto Mordecai the Iewe, that sitteth at the Kings gate: let nothing fayle of all that thou hast spoken.

11 So Haman tooke the rayment and the horse, and arayed Mordecai, and brought him on horse backe thorowe the streete of the citie, and proclaymed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the King will honour.

12 And Mordecai came againe to the Kings gate, but Haman hasted home mourning and his head couered.

13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every [thing] that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai [be] of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him,Thus God sometimes puts in the mouth of the very wicked to speak that thing which he has decreed shall come to pass.but shalt surely fall before him.

14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the Kings eunuches & hasted to bring Haman vnto the banket that Ester had prepared.
