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.
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.
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.
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.
5
And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.
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?
7
And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,
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:
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.
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.
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.
12
And Mordecai came again to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.
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.
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.

Esther Spells's Esther Chapter 6 comment on 4/13/2022, 6:08pm...

The king could not sleep that night

So he decided to read a book

The book of his legal records

He decided to take a look

He was reminded of the time

When Mordecai reported the plot

The king wanted to know

How he had been thanked for his troth

Nothing had been done

Not yet for this man

The king wanted to reward him

Thank him for his stand

Haman had just arrived

To ask for Mordecai's death

The king asked for Haman's presence

They hadn't spoken just yet

He asked what should I do

To honor a good man

Hey man thought he would get

All that he can

He must be speaking of me

I am the man he upholds

I would give him a royal horse

Put on him a royal robe

I was slowly parade this man

Through the city streets

Proclaiming his royal honor

For all of the people to see

Go do these things at once

You'll leave the horse, yes you

Do all that you recommended

For Mordecai the Jew

Haman robed Mordecai

Led him through the city streets

Proclaiming his honor for all

For all the people to hear and see

Mordecai went back to rest

Sit down at the palace gate

Haman rush home and told his wife

All about his day

She said he must forget

About his malicious plan

Because now the Jew he hated

Was a famed and honored man

Haman was not happy

For he knew what she said was true

How did the tables turn?

Now he must honor the Jew

It's time for Esther's banquet

Where the king wants to hear her voice

Haman had to hurry

To attend he had no choice

(By Esther Coleman-Spells)
