  6:1 ¶
But the Lord removed sleep from the king that night: and he told his servant to bring in the books, the registers of daily events, to read to him. |
|
6:1 ¶
On that°
night°
could not°°
the king°
sleep,°
and he commanded°°
to bring°°°
the book°
of records°
of the chronicles;°°
and they were°
read°°
before°
the king.° |
|
6:2
And he found the records written concerning Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus}, how he had told the king concerning the two chamberlains of the king, when they were keeping guard, and sought to lay hands on Artaxerxes. |
|
6:2
And it was found°°
written,°°
that°
Mordecai°
had told°°
of°
Bigthana°
and Teresh,°
two°
of the king's°
chamberlains,°
the keepers°°°
of the door,°
who°
sought°°
to lay°°
hand°
on the king°
Ahasuerus.° |
|
6:3
And the king said, What honour or favour have we done to Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus}? And the king's servants said, Thou hast not done anything to him. |
|
6:3
And the king°
said,°°
What°
honour°
and dignity°
hath been done°°
to Mordecai°
for°
this?°
Then said°°
the king's°
servants°
that ministered°°
unto him, There is nothing°°
done°°
for°
him. |
|
6:4 ¶
And while the king was enquiring about the kindness of Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus}, behold, Haman{gr.Aman} [was] in the court. And the king said, Who [is] in the court? Now Haman{gr.Aman} was come in to speak to the king, that he should hang Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} on the gallows, which he had prepared. |
|
6:4 ¶
And the king°
said,°°
Who°
[is] in the court?°
Now Haman°
was come°°
into the outward°
court°
of the king's°
house,°
to speak°°
unto the king°
to hang°°°
Mordecai°
on°
the gallows°
that°
he had prepared°°
for him. |
|
6:5
And the king's servants said, Behold, Haman{gr.Aman} stands in the court. And the king said, Call him. |
|
6:5
And the king's°
servants°
said°°
unto°
him, Behold,°
Haman°
standeth°°
in the court.°
And the king°
said,°°
Let him come in.°° |
|
6:6
And the king said to Haman{gr.Aman}, What shall I do to the man whom I wish to honour? And Haman{gr.Aman} said within himself, Whom would the king honour but myself? |
|
6:6
So Haman°
came in.°°
And the king°
said°°
unto him, What°
shall be done°°
unto the man°
whom°
the king°
delighteth°°
to honour?°
Now Haman°
thought°°
in his heart,°
To whom°
would the king°
delight°°
to do°°
honour°
more°
than°
to°
myself? |
|
6:7
and he said to the king, As for the man whom the king wishes to honour, |
|
6:7
And Haman°
answered°°°
the king,°
For the man°
whom°
the king°
delighteth°°
to honour,° |
|
6:8
let the king's servants bring the robe of fine linen which the king puts on, and the horse on which the king rides, |
|
6:8
Let the royal°
apparel°
be brought°°
which°
the king°
[useth] to wear,°°
and the horse°
that°
the king°
rideth°°
upon,°
and the crown°
royal°
which°
is set°°
upon his head:° |
|
6:9
and let him give [it] to one of the king's noble friends, and let him array the man whom the king loves; and let him mount him on the horse, and proclaim through the street of the city, saying, Thus shall it be [done] to every man whom the king honours. |
|
6:9
And let this apparel°
and horse°
be delivered°°
to°
the hand°
of one°
of the king's°
most noble°
princes,°°
that they may array°°°
the man°
[withal] whom°
the king°
delighteth°°
to honour,°
and bring°°
him on°
horseback°
through the street°
of the city,°
and proclaim°°
before°
him, Thus°
shall it be done°°
to the man°
whom°
the king°
delighteth°°
to honour.° |
|
6:10
Then the king said to Haman{gr.Aman}, Thou hast well said: so do to Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} the Jew, who waits in the palace, and let not a word of what thou hast spoken be neglected. |
|
6:10
Then the king°
said°°
to Haman,°
Make haste,°°
[and] take°°°
the apparel°
and the horse,°
as°
thou hast said,°°
and do°°
even so°
to Mordecai°
the Jew,°
that sitteth°°
at the king's°
gate:°
let nothing°°
fail°°
of all°°
that°
thou hast spoken.°° |
|
6:11
So Haman{gr.Aman} took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus}, and mounted him on the horse, and went through the street of the city, and proclaimed, saying, Thus shall it be to every man whom the king wishes to honour. |
|
6:11
Then took°°
Haman°°
the apparel°
and the horse,°
and arrayed°°°
Mordecai,°
and brought him on horseback°°
through the street°
of the city,°
and proclaimed°°
before°
him, Thus°
shall it be done°°
unto the man°
whom°
the king°
delighteth°°
to honour.° |
|
6:12 ¶
And Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} returned to the palace: but Haman{gr.Aman} went home mourning, and having his head covered. |
|
6:12 ¶
And Mordecai°
came again°°
to°
the king's°
gate.°
But Haman°
hasted°°
to°
his house°
mourning,°
and having his head°
covered.°° |
|
6:13
And Haman{gr.Aman} related the events that had befallen him to Zosara his wife, and to [his] friends: and his friends and his wife said to him, If Mordecai{gr.Mardochaeus} [be] of the race of the Jews, [and] thou hast begun to be humbled before him, thou wilt assuredly fall, and thou wilt not be able to withstand him, for the living God [is] with him. |
|
6:13
And Haman°
told°°
Zeresh°
his wife°
and all°
his friends°°°
every°
[thing] that°
had befallen°°
him. Then said°°
his wise men°
and Zeresh°
his wife°
unto him, If°
Mordecai°
[be] of the seed°°
of the Jews,°
before°
whom°
thou hast begun°°
to fall,°°
thou shalt not°
prevail°°
against him, but°
shalt surely°°
fall°°
before°
him. |
|
6:14
While they were yet speaking, the chamberlains arrived, to hasten Haman{gr.Aman} to the banquet which Esther had prepared. |
|
6:14
And while they [were] yet°
talking°°
with°
him, came°°
the king's°
chamberlains,°
and hasted°°
to bring°°°
Haman°
unto°
the banquet°
that°
Esther°
had prepared.°° |
