Bible Apocrypha Esther (Greek) chapter 6 of 16 (13 verses.) Esther (Greek) 6
1 On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king.2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana {Meat-Press} and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the door-keepers , who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus.3 And the king said, What honor and dignity has been done to Mordecai for this? Then the king says's servants that ministered to him, There is nothing done for him.4 And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had come into the outward court of the royal palace, to speak to the king to hang Mordecai on the execution-stake that he had prepared for him.5 And the king's servants said to him, Watch: Haman stands in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.6 So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What will be done to the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honor more than to myself?7 And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delights to honor,8 Let the royal apparel be brought which the king uses to wear, and the horse that the king rides upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head:9 And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, to array the man whom the king delights to honor, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus will it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.10 Then the king said to Haman, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as you have said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sits at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that you has spoken.11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai {Pure-Myrrh}, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus will it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.12 And Mordecai came back to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered.13 And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that happened to him. Then says his wise men and his wife Zeresh to him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom you have begun to fall, don't prevail against him, but will surely fall before him.14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared.
