SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:6
Entró, pues, Amán, y el rey le dijo: ¿Qué se hará al hombre cuya honra desea el rey? Y dijo Amán en su corazón: ¿A quién deseará el rey hacer honra más que a mí?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Esther 6:6
Verse 6. The king said unto him] He did not give him time to make his request; and put a question to him which, at the first view, promised him all that his heart could wish.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. So Haman came in , etc.] But was prevented speaking to the king about the business he came upon by the following speech of the king: what shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour ? he mentions not the name of any man, that he might the more freely, and unbiasedly, and disinterestedly give his advice; nor might the king know of any resentment of Haman to Mordecai: (now Haman thought in his heart, to whom would the king delight to do honour more than to myself?) who had been advanced above all the princes and nobles of the realm, and was now in such high honour both with the king and queen, with whom he was to be at a banquet that day; and he might conclude, that by putting this question to him, he could have in view none but himself: Aben Ezra observes, that some from hence gather, that this book was written by the spirit of prophecy, because none could know the thoughts of the heart but God; but though he believes it to be written by the Holy Ghost, yet, as he observes, Haman might disclose this thought of his heart to his friends afterwards.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 4-11 - See how men's pride deceives them. The deceitfulness of our own heart appears in nothing more than in the conceit we have of ourselves an our own performances: against which we should constantly watch an pray. Haman thought the king loved and valued no one but himself, but he was deceived. We should suspect that the esteem which others profes for us, is not so great as it seems to be, that we may not think to well of ourselves, nor trust too much in others. How Haman is struck when the king bids him do honour to Mordecai the Jew, the very man who he hated above all men, whose ruin he was now designing!
