Esther 6:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ The king asked, “Who is in the courtyard?” At that moment, Haman came through the courtyard to the king’s palace to ask the king about hanging Mordecai on the pole he had prepared for him.

⁵ The king’s staff answered him, “Haman happens to be standing in the courtyard.”

“Let him come in,” the king said.

⁶ So Haman came in. The king then asked him, “What should be done for the man whom the king wishes to reward?”

Haman thought to himself, “Whom would the king wish to reward more than me?”
