Esther 6:4-11

⁴ Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him. ⁵ And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in. ⁶ So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring? ⁷ And Haman, answering the king, said, For the man whom the king has delight in honouring, ⁸ Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his head: ⁹ And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring. ¹⁰ Then the king said to Haman, Go quickly, and take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, who is seated at the king's doorway: see that you do everything as you have said. ¹¹ Then Haman took the robes and the horse, and dressing Mordecai in the robes, he made him go on horseback through the streets of the town, crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.
