6:1 On that night 3915 could not 5074 8804 the king 4428 sleep 8142, and he commanded 559 8799 to bring 935 8687 the book 5612 of records 2146 of the chronicles 1697 3117; and they were read 7121 8737 before 6440 the king 4428.(could…: Heb. the king's sleep fled away)

6:2 And it was found 4672 8735 written 3789 8803, that Mordecai 4782 had told 5046 8689 of Bigthana 904 and Teresh 8657, two 8147 of the king's 4428 chamberlains 5631, the keepers 8104 8802 of the door 5592, who sought 1245 8765 to lay 7971 8800 hand 3027 on the king 4428 Ahasuerus 325.(Bigthana: or, Bigthan)(door: Heb. threshold)

6:3 And the king 4428 said 559 8799, What honour 3366 and dignity 1420 hath been done 6213 8738 to Mordecai 4782 for this? Then said 559 8799 the king's 4428 servants 5288 that ministered 8334 8764 unto him, There is nothing 1697 done 6213 8738 for him.

6:4 And the king 4428 said 559 8799, Who [is] in the court 2691? Now Haman 2001 was come 935 8804 into the outward 2435 court 2691 of the king's 4428 house 1004, to speak 559 8800 unto the king 4428 to hang 8518 8800 Mordecai 4782 on the gallows 6086 that he had prepared 3559 8689 for him.

6:5 And the king's 4428 servants 5288 said 559 8799 unto him, Behold, Haman 2001 standeth 5975 8802 in the court 2691. And the king 4428 said 559 8799, Let him come in 935 8799.

6:6 So Haman 2001 came in 935 8799. And the king 4428 said 559 8799 unto him, What shall be done 6213 8800 unto the man 376 whom the king 4428 delighteth 2654 8804 to honour 3366? Now Haman 2001 thought 559 8799 in his heart 3820, To whom would the king 4428 delight 2654 8799 to do 6213 8800 honour 3366 more 3148 than to myself?(whom the king…: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth)

6:7 And Haman 2001 answered 559 8799 the king 4428, For the man 376 whom the king 4428 delighteth 2654 8804 to honour 3366,(whom the king…: Heb. in whose honour the king delighteth)

6:8 Let the royal 4438 apparel 3830 be brought 935 8686 which the king 4428 [useth] to wear 3847 8804, and the horse 5483 that the king 4428 rideth 7392 8804 upon, and the crown 3804 royal 4438 which is set 5414 8738 upon his head 7218:(Let…: Heb. Let them bring the royal apparel)(which the king…: Heb. wherewith the king clotheth himself)

6:9 And let this apparel 3830 and horse 5483 be delivered 5414 8800 to the hand 3027 of one 376 of the king's 4428 most noble 6579 princes 8269, that they may array 3847 8689 the man 376 [withal] whom the king 4428 delighteth 2654 8804 to honour 3366, and bring 7392 8689 him on horseback 5483 through the street 7339 of the city 5892, and proclaim 7121 8804 before 6440 him, Thus shall it be done 6213 8735 to the man 376 whom the king 4428 delighteth 2654 8804 to honour 3366.(bring…: Heb. cause him to ride)

6:10 Then the king 4428 said 559 8799 to Haman 2001, Make haste 4116 8761, [and] take 3947 8798 the apparel 3830 and the horse 5483, as thou hast said 1696 8765, and do 6213 8798 even so to Mordecai 4782 the Jew 3064, that sitteth 3427 8802 at the king's 4428 gate 8179: let nothing 1697 fail 5307 8686 of all that thou hast spoken 1696 8765.(let…: Heb. suffer not a whit to fall)

6:11 Then took 3947 8799 Haman 2001 the apparel 3830 and the horse 5483, and arrayed 3847 8686 Mordecai 4782, and brought him on horseback 7392 8686 through the street 7339 of the city 5892, and proclaimed 7121 8799 before 6440 him, Thus shall it be done 6213 8735 unto the man 376 whom the king 4428 delighteth 2654 8804 to honour 3366.

6:12 And Mordecai 4782 came again 7725 8799 to the king's 4428 gate 8179. But Haman 2001 hasted 1765 8738 to his house 1004 mourning 57, and having his head 7218 covered 2645 8802.

6:13 And Haman 2001 told 5608 8762 Zeresh 2238 his wife 802 and all his friends 157 8802 every [thing] that had befallen 7136 8804 him. Then said 559 8799 his wise men 2450 and Zeresh 2238 his wife 802 unto him, If Mordecai 4782 [be] of the seed 2233 of the Jews 3064, before 6440 whom thou hast begun 2490 8689 to fall 5307 8800, thou shalt not prevail 3201 8799 against him, but shalt surely 5307 8800 fall 5307 8799 before 6440 him.

6:14 And while they [were] yet talking 1696 8764 with him, came 5060 8689 the king's 4428 chamberlains 5631, and hasted 926 8686 to bring 935 8687 Haman 2001 unto the banquet 4960 that Esther 635 had prepared 6213 8804.
