Est. 6:1 that night the king could not sleep. The perfect timing of the king’s insomnia strongly suggests that God in his providence is guiding the circumstances and events, rather than their being mere coincidence or chance (compare Dan. 6:18). the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles. A record of significant events in the king’s reign (see Est. 2:23; compare 1 Kings 14:29).
Est. 6:5 Haman is there. Haman now waits as Esther had done in 5:1. Again, the timing is perfect. Even though the text does not say so, God is invisibly at work.
Est. 6:6–11 What should be done to the man . . . the king delights to honor? Neither Ahasuerus nor Haman is aware of the irony in the question. Haman’s response shows both the extent of his vanity and his total unawareness of the trap he is walking into: do so to Mordecai the Jew.
Est. 6:13 If Mordecai . . . is of the Jewish people, you . . . will surely fall before him. Even Haman’s wife and advisers sense that an irresistible power or person protects the Jewish people.
