Esther 6:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ About this time, Haman came in to ask the king to have Mordecai hanged on the gallows he had built. The king saw him and asked, “Who is that man waiting in front of the throne room?”

⁵ The king's servants answered, “Your Majesty, it is Haman.”

“Tell him to come in,” the king commanded.

⁶ When Haman entered the room, the king asked him, “What should I do for a man I want to honor?”

Haman was sure that he was the one the king wanted to honor.
