Esther 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 sleep, 8142 and he commanded 559 z8799 to bring 935 z8687 x853 the book 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 king's 4428 chamberlains, 5631 the keepers 8104 z8802 x4480 of the door, 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 honor 3366 and dignity 1420 hath been done 6213 z8738 to Mordecai 4782 for x5921 this? x2088 Then said 559 z8799 the king's 4428 servants 5288 that ministered 8334 z8764 unto 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 king's 4428 house, 1004 to speak 559 z8800 unto the king 4428 to hang 8518 z8800 x853 Mordecai 4782 on x5921 the gallows 6086 that x834 he had prepared 3559 z8689 for him.

 6:5 And the king's 4428 servants 5288 said 559 z8799 unto x413 him, Behold, x2009 Haman 2001 standeth 5975 z8802 in the court. 2691 And the king 4428 said, 559 z8799 Let him come in. 935 z8799

 6:6 So Haman 2001 came in. 935 z8799 And the king 4428 said 559 z8799 unto him, What x4100 shall be done 6213 z8800 unto the man 376 whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honor? 3366 Now Haman 2001 thought 559 z8799 in his heart, 3820 To whom x4310 would the king 4428 delight 2654 z8799 to do 6213 z8800 honor 3366 more y3148 than x3148 to x4480 myself?

 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 honor, 3366

 6:8 Let the royal 4438 apparel 3830 be brought 935 z8686 which x834 the king 4428 [useth] to wear, 3847 z8804 and the horse 5483 that x834 the king 4428 rideth 7392 z8804 upon, x5921 and the crown 3804 royal 4438 which x834 is set 5414 z8738 upon his head: 7218

 6:9 And let this apparel 3830 and horse 5483 be delivered 5414 z8800 to x5921 the hand 3027 of one 376 of the king's 4428 most noble 6579 princes, 8269 x4480 that they may array 3847 z8689 x853 the man 376 [withal] whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honor, 3366 and bring 7392 z8689 him on x5921 horseback 5483 through the street 7339 of the city, 5892 and proclaim 7121 z8804 before 6440 him, Thus x3602 shall it be done 6213 z8735 to the man 376 whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honor. 3366

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

 6:11 Then took 3947 z8799 Haman 2001 x853 the apparel 3830 and the horse, 5483 and arrayed 3847 z8686 x853 Mordecai, 4782 and brought him on horseback 7392 z8686 through the street 7339 of the city, 5892 and proclaimed 7121 z8799 before 6440 him, Thus x3602 shall it be done 6213 z8735 unto the man 376 whom x834 the king 4428 delighteth 2654 z8804 to honor. 3366

 6:12 ¶ And Mordecai 4782 came again 7725 z8799 to x413 the king's 4428 gate. 8179 But Haman 2001 hasted 1765 z8738 to x413 his house 1004 mourning, 57 and having his head 7218 covered. 2645 z8802

 6:13 And Haman 2001 told 5608 z8762 Zeresh 2238 his wife 802 and all x3605 his friends 157 z8802 x853 every x3605 [thing] that x834 had befallen 7136 z8804 him. Then said 559 z8799 his wise men 2450 and Zeresh 2238 his wife 802 unto him, If x518 Mordecai 4782 [be] of the seed 2233 x4480 of the Jews, 3064 before 6440 whom x834 thou hast begun 2490 z8689 to fall, 5307 z8800 thou shalt not x3808 prevail 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 king's 4428 chamberlains, 5631 and hasted 926 z8686 to bring 935 z8687 x853 Haman 2001 unto x413 the banquet 4960 that x834 Esther 635 had prepared. 6213 z8804
