Esther 6:1-13

6:1

On that night
<03915>

could not
<05074> (8804)

the king
<04428>

sleep
<08142>_,

and he commanded
<0559> (8799)

to bring
<0935> (8687)

the book
<05612>

of records
<02146>

of the chronicles
<01697> <03117>_;

and they were read
<07121> (8737)

before
<06440>

the king
<04428>_.

{could...: Heb. the king's sleep fled away}

6:2

And it was found
<04672> (8735)

written
<03789> (8803)_,

that Mordecai
<04782>

had told
<05046> (8689)

of Bigthana
<0904>

and Teresh
<08657>_,

two
<08147>

of the king's
<04428>

chamberlains
<05631>_,

the keepers
<08104> (8802)

of the door
<05592>_,

who sought
<01245> (8765)

to lay
<07971> (8800)

hand
<03027>

on the king
<04428>

Ahasuerus
<0325>_.

{Bigthana: also called, Bigthan} {door: Heb. threshold}

6:3

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

What honour
<03366>

and dignity
<01420>

hath been done
<06213> (8738)

to Mordecai
<04782>

for this? Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king's
<04428>

servants
<05288>

that ministered
<08334> (8764)

unto him, There is nothing
<01697>

done
<06213> (8738)

for him.

6:4

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [is] in the court
<02691>_?

Now Haman
<02001>

was come
<0935> (8804)

into the outward
<02435>

court
<02691>

of the king's
<04428>

house
<01004>_,

to speak
<0559> (8800)

unto the king
<04428>

to hang
<08518> (8800)

Mordecai
<04782>

on the gallows
<06086>

that he had prepared
<03559> (8689)

for him.

6:5

And the king's
<04428>

servants
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Behold, Haman
<02001>

standeth
<05975> (8802)

in the court
<02691>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let him come in
<0935> (8799)_.

6:6

So Haman
<02001>

came in
<0935> (8799)_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What shall be done
<06213> (8800)

unto the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_?

Now Haman
<02001>

thought
<0559> (8799)

in his heart
<03820>_,

To whom would the king
<04428>

delight
<02654> (8799)

to do
<06213> (8800)

honour
<03366>

more
<03148>

than to myself? {whom the king...: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth}

6:7

And Haman
<02001>

answered
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

For the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_,

{whom the king...: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth}

6:8

Let the royal
<04438>

apparel
<03830>

be brought
<0935> (8686)

which the king
<04428>

[useth] to wear
<03847> (8804)_,

and the horse
<05483>

that the king
<04428>

rideth
<07392> (8804)

upon, and the crown
<03804>

royal
<04438>

which is set
<05414> (8738)

upon his head
<07218>_:

{Let...: Heb. Let them bring the royal apparel} {which the king...: Heb. wherewith the king clotheth himself}

6:9

And let this apparel
<03830>

and horse
<05483>

be delivered
<05414> (8800)

to the hand
<03027>

of one
<0376>

of the king's
<04428>

most noble
<06579>

princes
<08269>_,

that they may array
<03847> (8689)

the man
<0376>

[withal] whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_,

and bring
<07392> (8689)

him on horseback
<05483>

through the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_,

and proclaim
<07121> (8804)

before
<06440>

him, Thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

to the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_.

{bring...: Heb. cause him to ride}

6:10

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Haman
<02001>_,

Make haste
<04116> (8761)_,

[and] take
<03947> (8798)

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

as thou hast said
<01696> (8765)_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

even so to Mordecai
<04782>

the Jew
<03064>_,

that sitteth
<03427> (8802)

at the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_:

let nothing
<01697>

fail
<05307> (8686)

of all that thou hast spoken
<01696> (8765)_.

{let...: Heb. suffer not a whit to fall}

6:11

Then took
<03947> (8799)

Haman
<02001>

the apparel
<03830>

and the horse
<05483>_,

and arrayed
<03847> (8686)

Mordecai
<04782>_,

and brought him on horseback
<07392> (8686)

through the street
<07339>

of the city
<05892>_,

and proclaimed
<07121> (8799)

before
<06440>

him, Thus shall it be done
<06213> (8735)

unto the man
<0376>

whom the king
<04428>

delighteth
<02654> (8804)

to honour
<03366>_.

6:12

And Mordecai
<04782>

came again
<07725> (8799)

to the king's
<04428>

gate
<08179>_.

But Haman
<02001>

hasted
<01765> (8738)

to his house
<01004>

mourning
<057>_,

and having his head
<07218>

covered
<02645> (8802)_.

6:13

And Haman
<02001>

told
<05608> (8762)

Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

and all his friends
<0157> (8802)

every [thing] that had befallen
<07136> (8804)

him. Then said
<0559> (8799)

his wise men
<02450>

and Zeresh
<02238>

his wife
<0802>

unto him, If Mordecai
<04782>

[be] of the seed
<02233>

of the Jews
<03064>_,

before
<06440>

whom thou hast begun
<02490> (8689)

to fall
<05307> (8800)_,

thou shalt not prevail
<03201> (8799)

against him, but shalt surely
<05307> (8800)

fall
<05307> (8799)

before
<06440>

him.

A man's
<0120>

heart
<03820>

deviseth
<02803> (8762)

his way
<01870>_:

but the LORD
<03068>

directeth
<03559> (8686)

his steps
<06806>_.
