Ester 6

1 Ahasuerus, reading in the chronicles of the good service done by Mordecai, taketh care for his reward. 4 Haman, coming to sue that Mordecai might be hanged, unawares giveth counsel that he might do him honour. 12 Complaining of his misfortune, his friends tell him of his final destiny.

 6:1 ¶ On that x1931 night 3915 could not 5074 z8804 the King 4428 sleepe, 8142 and hee commaunded 559 z8799 to bring 935 z8687 x853 the booke 5612 of Records 2146 of the chronicles; 1697 3117 and they were x1961 read 7121 z8737 before 6440 the king. 4428

 6:2 And it was found 4672 z8735 written, 3789 z8803 that x834 Mordecai 4782 had told 5046 z8689 of x5921 Bigthana, 904 and Teresh, 8657 two 8147 of the kings 4428 chamberleus, 5631 the keepers 8104 z8802 x4480 of the doore, 5592 who x834 sought 1245 z8765 to lay 7971 z8800 hand 3027 on the king 4428 Ahasuerus. 325

 6:3 And the king 4428 said, 559 z8799 What x4100 honour 3366 and dignitie 1420 hath bene done 6213 z8738 to Mordecai 4782 for x5921 this? x2088 Then said 559 z8799 the kings 4428 seruants 5288 that ministred 8334 z8764 vnto him, There is nothing 1697 x3808 done 6213 z8738 for x5973 him.

 6:4 ¶ And the king 4428 said, 559 z8799 Who x4310 [is] in the court? 2691 (now Haman 2001 was come 935 z8804 into the outward 2435 court 2691 of the kings 4428 house, 1004 to speake 559 z8800 vnto the king, 4428 to hang 8518 z8800 x853 Mordecai 4782 on x5921 the gallons 6086 that x834 hee had prepared 3559 z8689 for him.)

 6:5 And the kings 4428 seruants 5288 said 559 z8799 vnto x413 him, Behold, x2009 Haman 2001 standeth 5975 z8802 in the court. 2691 And the King 4428 saide, 559 z8799 Let him come in. 935 z8799

 6:6 So Haman 2001 came in, 935 z8799 and the king 4428 said 559 z8799 vnto him, What x4100 shall be done 6213 z8800 vnto the man 376 whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honour? 3366 (now Haman 2001 thought 559 z8799 in his heart, 3820 To whom x4310 would the king 4428 delight 2654 z8799 to doe 6213 z8800 honour, 3366 more y3148 then x3148 to x4480 my selfe?)

 6:7 And Haman 2001 answered 559 z8799 x413 the king, 4428 For the man 376 whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honour, 3366

 6:8 Let the royall 4438 apparell 3830 bee brought, 935 z8686 which x834 the King 4428 [vseth] to weare, 3847 z8804 and the horse 5483 that x834 the King 4428 rideth 7392 z8804 vpon, x5921 and the crowne 3804 royal 4438 which x834 is set 5414 z8738 vpon his head: 7218

 6:9 And let this apparell 3830 and horse 5483 bee deliuered 5414 z8800 to x5921 the hand 3027 of one 376 of the kings 4428 most noble 6579 Princes, 8269 x4480 that they may aray 3847 z8689 x853 the man 376 withall, whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honour, 3366 and bring 7392 z8689 him on x5921 horsebacke 5483 through the streete 7339 of the city, 5892 and proclaime 7121 z8804 before 6440 him, Thus x3602 shal it be done 6213 z8735 to the man 376 whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honour. 3366

 6:10 Then the king 4428 saide 559 z8799 to Haman, 2001 Make haste, 4116 z8761 [and] take 3947 z8798 x853 the apparell, 3830 and the horse, 5483 as x834 thou hast said, 1696 z8765 and doe 6213 z8798 euen so x3651 to Mordecai 4782 the Iew, 3064 that sitteth 3427 z8802 at the Kings 4428 gate: 8179 let nothing 1697 x408 faile 5307 z8686 of all x4480 x3605 that x834 thou hast spoken. 1696 z8765

 6:11 Then tooke 3947 z8799 Haman 2001 x853 the apparell, 3830 and the horse, 5483 & arayed 3847 z8686 x853 Mordecai, 4782 and brought him on hors-backe 7392 z8686 through the streete 7339 of the city, 5892 and proclaimed 7121 z8799 before 6440 him: Thus x3602 shall it bee done 6213 z8735 vnto the man 376 whom x834 the King 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honour. 3366

 6:12 ¶ And Mordecai 4782 came againe 7725 z8799 to x413 the kings 4428 gate: 8179 but Haman 2001 hasted 1765 z8738 to x413 his house, 1004 mourning, 57 and hauing his head 7218 couered. 2645 z8802

 6:13 And Haman 2001 told 5608 z8762 Zeresh 2238 his wife, 802 and all x3605 his friends, 157 z8802 x853 euery x3605 thing that x834 had befallen 7136 z8804 him. Then saide 559 z8799 his wise men, 2450 and Zeresh 2238 his wife 802 vnto him, If x518 Mordecai 4782 be of the seed 2233 x4480 of the Iewes, 3064 before 6440 whom x834 thou hast begun 2490 z8689 to fall, 5307 z8800 thou shalt not x3808 preuaile 3201 z8799 against him, but x3588 shalt surely y5307 z8800 fall 5307 z8799 before 6440 him.

 6:14 And while they [were] yet x5750 talking 1696 z8764 with x5973 him, came 5060 z8689 the kings 4428 chamberlens, 5631 and hasted 926 z8686 to bring 935 z8687 x853 Haman 2001 vnto x413 the banquet 4960 that x834 Esther 635 had prepared. 6213 z8804
