Esther 6:3-5

The Message

³ The king asked, “What great honor was given to Mordecai for this?”

“Nothing,” replied the king’s servants who were in attendance. “Nothing has been done for him.”

⁴ The king said, “Is there anybody out in the court?”

Now Haman had just come into the outer court of the king’s palace to talk to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows he had built for him.

⁵ The king’s servants said, “Haman is out there, waiting in the court.”

“Bring him in,” said the king.
