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}
