Esther 6:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ The king said, ‘Who is now in the palace yard?’

Haman had just arrived at the palace. His men had built the wooden tower. Now he wanted to ask the king to hang Mordecai on it to kill him. ⁵ The king's servants said to the king, ‘Haman is in the palace yard.’ The king said, ‘Bring him here to me.’

⁶ Haman came in to the king's room. The king asked him, ‘If I want to give great honour to a man, what should we do for that man?’

Haman thought to himself, ‘I am sure that I am that man. The king must want to give me honour.’
