Berean Standard Bible
On
that night hath
the
sleep of
the king fled
away,
and
he saith
to
bring
in
the book of memorials
of
the Chronicles, and they
are
read before
the
king,
That night sleep escaped
the king ;
so
he ordered
the Book of Records,
the Chronicles, to
be
brought
in
and read to
him.
and it is
found written
that Mordecai had declared
concerning
Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs of
the
king,
of
the
keepers
of
the threshold
, who
sought
to put
forth
a
hand
on
king Ahasuerus
.
And there
it was
found recorded
that Mordecai had exposed
Bigthana and Teresh, two of the eunuchs who
guarded
the king’s
entrance
, when
they
had
conspired
to assassinate
King Xerxes
.
And
the king saith
, `
What honour
and
greatness
hath
been done
to
Mordecai for this? '
And
the
servants
of
the
king,
his
ministers,
say,
`
Nothing hath
been done with
him. '
The king inquired
, “
What honor
or
dignity
has
been bestowed
on
Mordecai for this act
? ”
“
Nothing has
been done for
him ,”
replied
the
king’s
attendants
.
And
the
king
saith,
`
Who `
is '
in the court? '
--
and
Haman hath
come
in
to
the outer court of the house
of
the
king,
to
say
to the king to hang Mordecai on the tree
that
he had prepared for him --
“
Who is in the court? ”
the
king
asked.
Now
Haman had
just
entered
the outer court of the palace
to ask
the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows
he had prepared for him .
and
the
servants
of
the king
say
unto
him, `Lo,
Haman is standing in the court ;'
and
the
king
saith,
`Let
him come
in. '
So
the king’s
attendants
answered
him, “
Haman is there,
standing in the court .”
“Bring
him in ,”
ordered
the
king
.
And
Haman cometh
in
, and the king saith
to
him, `
What --
to
do
with
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted? '
And
Haman saith
in
his
heart,
`
To whom doth
the king delight
to do
honour
more than myself
? '
Haman entered
, and the king asked
him, “
What should
be
done
for
the man whom
the king is
delighted to
honor
? ”
Now
Haman thought
to himself,
“
Whom would
the king be
delighted
to honor
more than me
? ”
And Haman saith
unto
the king, `
The man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted,
And Haman told
the king, “For
the man whom
the king is
delighted to
honor
,
let
them bring in
royal clothing
that the king hath
put
on
himself ,
and a horse on which the king hath
ridden ,
and
that
the
royal crown
be
put
on his
head ,
have
them bring a
royal robe
that the king himself has
worn
and a horse on which the king himself
has
ridden —one
with
a
royal crest
placed
on its
head .
and
to
give
the clothing
and the horse into
the
hand
of
a
man
of
the
heads
of the king,
the
chiefs,
and
they
have
clothed
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted,
and caused
him to
ride
on the horse in
a
broad
place
of
the city, and
called
before him :
Thus
it
is done to
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted .'
Let
the robe
and the horse be
entrusted
to
one
of the king’s
most
noble
princes.
Let
them
array
the man the king wants
to
honor
and parade
him on the horse through
the city square
, proclaiming
before him ,
‘This
is what
is
done for
the man whom
the king is
delighted to
honor!’”
And
the king saith
to Haman, `Haste,
take the clothing
and the horse ,
as
thou
hast
spoken,
and
do
so
to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting in
the gate of
the
king;
there
doth
not fall
a
thing
of
all
that thou
hast
spoken
. '
“Hurry,”
said
the king to Haman, “and
do
just
as
you
proposed.
Take the robe
and the horse to Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at
the king’s
gate .
Do
not neglect
anything
that you
have
suggested
. ”
And
Haman taketh
the clothing,
and the horse, and
clothed
Mordecai, and causeth
him to
ride
in
a
broad
place
of
the city, and
calleth
before him, `Thus
it
is done to
the man in
whose
honour
the king hath
delighted .'
So
Haman took
the robe
and the horse, arrayed
Mordecai, and paraded
him through
the city square
, crying
out
before him, “This
is what
is
done for
the man whom
the king is
delighted to
honor!”
And
Mordecai turneth
back
unto
the gate of
the
king,
and
Haman hath
been
hastened
unto
his
house
mourning
, and
with covered
head ,
Then
Mordecai returned
to
the king’s
gate .
But
Haman rushed
home
, with his
head covered
in
grief.
and
Haman recounteth
to
Zeresh
his wife ,
and to
all his friends ,
all
that hath
met
him,
and
his wise
men
say
to
him,
and Zeresh
his wife, `If
Mordecai `is'
of
the
seed
of
the
Jews
, before whom thou
hast
begun to
fall
, thou
art
not able
for
him ,
but
dost
certainly
fall before him. '
Haman told
his wife Zeresh
and all his friends everything
that had
happened.
His advisers
and his wife Zeresh
said
to
him
, “Since
Mordecai, before whom your
downfall
has
begun, is
Jewish,
you
will
not prevail
against
him —for
surely
you
will
fall before him. ”
They are
yet
speaking with him
, and
eunuchs
of
the king
have
come,
and haste
to bring
in
Haman
unto
the banquet that Esther hath
made
.
While
they were
still
speaking with Haman
, the king’s
eunuchs
arrived
and rushed
him
to the banquet that Esther had
prepared
.
