Esther 6 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Est 6:1

Est 6:1On that night the king couldn't sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

Est 6:2

Est 6:2It was found written that Mordekhai had told of Bigtana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those who kept the threshold, who had sought to lay hands on the king Achashverosh.

Est 6:3

Est 6:3The king said, What honor and dignity has been bestowed on Mordekhai for this? Then the king's servants who ministered to him said, "Nothing has been done for him."

Est 6:4

Est 6:4The king said, "Who is in the court?" Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak to the king to hang Mordekhai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

Est 6:5

Est 6:5The king's servants said to him, Behold, Haman stands in the court. The king said, Let him come in.

Est 6:6

Est 6:6So Haman came in. The king said to him, What shall be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman said in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?

Est 6:7

Est 6:7Haman said to the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,

Est 6:8

Est 6:8let royal clothing be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides on, and on the head of which a crown royal is set:

Est 6:9

Est 6:9and let the clothing and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delights to honor, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.

Haman Must Honor Mordecai

Est 6:10

Est 6:10Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the clothing and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordekhai the Yehudi, who sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that you have spoken.

Est 6:11

Est 6:11Then took Haman the clothing and the horse, and arrayed Mordekhai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.

Est 6:12

Est 6:12Mordekhai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and having his head covered.

Est 6:13

Est 6:13Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, If Mordekhai, before whom you have begun to fall, be of the seed of the Yehudim, you shall not prevail against him, but shall surely fall before him.

Est 6:14

Est 6:14While they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hurried to bring Haman to the banquet that Ester had prepared.
